What is the best response to scandinavian?

to loss a pawn?

Funniest game I ever played with the Scandi:

it is literally the faulkbeer counter gambit of the Kings Gambit but black has not played e5.

Offer a draw, resign if it's not accepted.

I've played the EXACT SAME MINIATURE twice with the gedult BDG I see!

from MY SIDE of the scandinavian though (I beat anyone that tries to BDG me by a few % BTW), what drives me nuts, and now I see my hideous 1:2 record with it, whether I try the portugese or not, is 3.d4!

Knight f3?

the BEST thing about the BDG, ISN'T that black never sees it, but that it sidesteps EVERYONE'S theory whether they play ...Nf6 or ...Qxd5 and whatever retreat black choses out of at least 3

i dont know how you made up this monstrosity but this is not what you want as white

Idk free queens, constant threats, tempos, and a vulnerable King are always nice

I tend not to resign, to the point that I'll play for a stalemate against a pair of queens and a bishop, and I don't GENERALLY blunder my queen as I like to keep her back until she's ready to fire the chainsaw up.

WOW! There's a lot of optimism in that line!!! HAHAHAHA! I no longer play the Qxd5 variation PRECISELY because it invites you to develop pieces against it, I see A LOT of players are neglecting c6. this is going down sidelineville, but some players just don't play it to give the queen her escape route. I always thought it was flat out stupid wasting a tempo on Qa5 and another on c6, where the knight belongs, only to retreat right back where she started.

I see that retreating straight back to d8 is more popular now. I remember thinking THAT's the correct move, even back when no one was playing it 20 years ago. wasting 2 tempi just to retreat back to where you started is an abomination to this gambiteer

7.Bb5 in your variation, isn't the strongest performing move either. 7.Nb5 performs a full 9% better

REGARDLESS... tennison gambit is TRASH!

Yeah a Scandi player isn't going to have nearly as much familiarity in BDG as the mainline. However, at a certain point they will be prepared for it and white has given up a solid advantage, just to "sidestep theory."

Yeah, its funny because you just need to be able to play in any line and know the key issues like c6 and when to deviate. That said, it's funny because I can do a lot more with trash than you can with whatever pristine openings you memorized and fail to fully understand. Don't hate the player hate the game. You would literally have to win over fifty games in a row without losing while increasing skill levels to get on my level let alone stay there.

How many Queens have you dropped today?

Also "performs" in the opening database is based on GM games. How many gms have you played? For your level that database is next to useless the way you're trying to do it.

Actually, the Chess.com DB includes all 'master' level games, including CMs. So some of the games have players with ratings well below 2000.

OH, so you're a self obsessed narcissist troll... got it. they make prozac for that.

I FILTER GM games out in my results. I only study 1600-2000 games and for what I lack in positional understanding because of the way my hates abstractions 157 IQ brain is wired, i make up for tactically with concepts I can VISUALIZE.

that YOU see it as an opening to troll merely shows how sad and pathetic your PEOPLE SKILLS are... and I'm a freakin' VULCAN!

I'm AM world class at playing poker... making 17th place in a 9,000 player round 1 (dropped to 57th trying to win it even though I already had my round 2 ticket), made the final table in a 200 player "best of the best" and only got KOed when I drew AA on an AJJ flop and HAD TO call the JJJAA fidiot who rivered quads. I even took a picture because I KNEW it was going to happen because of that cursed river rat math. I shouldn't have been able to PREDICT that.

otherwise, I solve NASA level problems sometimes.

that, and I'm having a HECK of a time rubbing it in astronomy trolls' faces just HOW WRONG they've ALL BEEN, popping condescending punk attitudes like yours about "math I don't understand" when their math was BUSTED ALL ALONG! HAHAHAHA! eff your magical something out of nothing big bang theories IDIOTS!

always said it was just a super massive black hole (or collection thereof) burping. THAT PERFECTLY explains galaxies that "shouldn't exist" when most of BUSTED big bang theory shouldn't exist with all of its magical unicorn crap instead of the BLATANTLY OBVIOUS.

SOME DAY, theory will include the possibility of "it's just an effing black hole!" big bang theory where the universe ALREADY EXISTED. funny how the FACTS fit MY THEORY that smug idiots liked to talk down to with their PROVEN WRONG now busted math.

golly I hate bragging to put trolls in their place. talk to masterminds... THEY know who the eff I am and how much smarter I am than all of them, in my own plain english, don't need math way... just like the time I effing RE-INVENTED lamborghini's "NACA duct" when I was 3 years old. all grandpa had to do, was explain to me that air acts just like water at speed. so, I tipped his stock car up in my head, poured water on it, and the water splashed on his "aerodynamic" hood scoop, but not when I inverted it to get it out of the way.

I might have abstractions issues with chess little boy, but I am NOT someone you want to get into a battle of the wits with... lest I have to call David Duchovny in to testify. HE knows who I am. So does Andy Sirkis (SUPER nice guy!!!), Janean Garofalo, Terry Gilliam and a couple other celebs that DON'T advertise their celebrity... I'm guessing one of them is Geena Davis, who at 163, can beat me in a TEST.

for what it's worth, Kim Kardashian DID NOT last long hanging out with the other braniacs. when she asked for my opinion of her, I didn't know a dang thing about her.

Here's my favorite response to the Scandi

^ hope you know better than to get your knight trapped.
