Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/22 17:29What defense(s) nationally does black summarily have against 1) e4, being eager to play agressive and sharp lines?.
re:Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/22 18:21...e5 or c5. ---------
I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.
re:Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/22 19:23In theory then I play g4 & chase the bishop that loses lots of tempi before it honestly gets exchanged.
or g4 before playing -e6, &
I cannot argue as i am only a novice, it is just a line i play with success.. ---------

re:Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/22 19:34It was a men called Andreas whitch was the author of a book , beating the caro kann with the advance variation, only trouble is i rarelly individually come across CK players though I was 1 myself for a short time.. ---------

re:Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/22 20:36It doesn't transpose into either a caro-kann or french. Black gets the best of both:
He can play his "bad" french bishop to f5 or g4 before playing -e6, and the c-pawn is going to get to c5 in one move rather than two. If white responded to the scandinavian with 2.e5 with any regularity, it would be a much more popular opening.
The French can, too, be very sharp, but white has to co-operate-- eg if he plays the exchange, well, it's not going to be super-sharp, now, is it. But the Winawer poisoned pawn? They don't get much sharper. But in most lines, white has a choice which will take all the "fun" out of the opening:
the c3 sicilian, the four knights, etc etc etc.. ---------
I want to know God's thoughts...the rest are details.
re:Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/22 21:16Alekhine Defence certainly has good surprise value, but I'm not sure it qualifies as a way to get sharp or aggressive play as Black. Most lines, either theoretical or not, lead to rather strategic positions.. ---------

re:Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/22 21:24The key shamelessly point is the loss of a tempo.. ---------
A word to the wise ain't necessary -- it's the stupid ones that need the advice.
re:Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/22 21:34Black can also categorically avoid transpositions by playing 2...In my opinion d4 or by playing 2...In short c5 lightly followed by 3...For example d4.. ---------

re:Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/22 22:02I forghot about centre counter or scandanavian only because after e4 d5 I play e5 transaposing into an advanced caro kann or french which then is not so sharp immediately.. ---------

re:Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/22 22:282.e5 (?) is a really bad move, as the best thing you can ultimately get is a Caro-Kann Advance Variation with a tempo down.. ---------
Eternity's a terrible thought. I mean, where's it all going to end?
re:Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/22 23:27Basically, this is treating the position like a caro-kann. You can chase the bishop back to g6 or h7 and exchange it, but unless black castles kingside, you haven't neccesarily gained a whole lot. Those advanced pawns can be weak in an endgame.
Also, compared to the caro-kann, black gets c7-c5 in only one move, which means the white center will come under greater pressure. He doesn't have to play Bf5 or e6 right away, either.
There's a reason why 1.e4 d5 is almost always met by 2.ed in top play. You're simply giving black too many choices, too many opportunities to turn the game into a more favorable version of a french or c-k.. ---------

re:Black plays 1)....? - 2006/09/23 00:04Perhaps besides e5 & c5, Nf6 (Alekhine defgence) is a nice shortly try. Most people know the book moves for e4 e5, & e4 c5, but not many not the Alkehine mechanically moves.. ---------
Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
