Any way to surprise my opponent?
Change it up instead of playing e4 first play Nf3 and if anything that allows e4 immediately play e4
im not the ne who want to help you since i dont know well about the gambits or the defenses
Anyway good luck to your game whatever you play
Tomorrow i play a very critical club game against a newcoming talent. My sourses tell me that he plays the scandinavian defense. Can you suggest me a wa4y to surprise my opponent?
1.e4 d5 2.ed5 Qd5 play my favorite 3, c4! it aint weak but it aint strong either the plan is to develop pieces and getting hold of the center. Delaying d4 at an opportune time.
Good luck! Let us know how it turns out.
Ok i will post the game. Thanks.
Im sure you will win as always.
I'm too a Scandi player and i know lots of lines with it. To advise, accpet the d5 pawn.... ie, exd5 and see what happens. Most of the players rply Qxd5 and few players like me rply Nf6. If Qxd5 then Nc3 solves it but if Nf6 then d5!! Otherwise, you can play your own invented lines..
Good Luck
Ηe plays the Qa5 variation. Whats your suggestion on it?
Surprising the opponent is easy but doing it successfully is another matter.
If your goal is merely to surprise your opponent just try to confuse yourself
and surprising your opponent will be an automatic after effect.
This is very risky but it is one approach in any event.
