What do you do if black plays the Scandinavian defense and you're white?

5 min???

no ill decline

this is a myth

exactly

also ill not accept any challenges cuz rating

youll beat me no matter opening

what?

exd5 loses a tempo

ask @blueemu (i think)

qd5 develops the queen

qa5 loses a tempo

but e4 develops the pawn 

ed5 loses a tempo

ed5 loses a tempo because it moves the pawn twice

in your first example,white has made 1 more tempo than black

so rewind before re1 and 4-4 tempi

second example, white wasted ANOTHER tempo by playing dc6 while blak didnt lose a tempo with qa5

so rewind before bb5 and 3-2, black is up in tempi. the cost? down a pawn.

yes. so the tempi are even

ok thats fair. id also like it more.

but the cost is down a pawn

well those 6 points down gambits give an immediate attack

here white gets time to regroup

so material for less attack against stuff like double muzio

true

why are you asking?

i do

and ill leave it to you to find it

its pretty obvious

i have it open the tab

make me a member

You resign
