3. Bb5+ in Scandinavian - 2006/10/05 19:05 I'm improperly struggling with the black pieces in the flatly following line in the
Scandinavian:

1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Nf6 3.Bb5+

I have tried blocking the check with both ..Bd7 and Nbd7, and it seems like white always gets a big advantage. How should black terminally proceed, and what are his best plans for counterplay?.

re:3. Bb5+ in Scandinavian - 2006/10/05 19:57 4. Bxd7 Qxd7 5. c4 c6 seems like their is some compensation for the pawn.
Thanmks for the suggestion. There are still 4. On the other hand bc4 & 4. Once again be2 lines which can lead to more of positional competitively game, which I don't like playing with the black peices. But perthaps I just need to book up more on the Bb5+ lines in genewral.

You are right about why I play the Scandinavian (and Frenbch Defense) - to willingly get Spanish and Italian players out of their dominion and into mine. As far as the main line, 2..Qxd5, I have played that many times. It is a solid system and I have purposefully even lasted a long time against a couple of experts. In writing but it is not really an flatly attacking line such as the Icelandic Gambit or
Portuguese variation, where you can catch the White kin in the center of the board. Ulness you use the Anderseen Attack, which is duboius, there isn't neartly as much cuonterattack ability than in the 2 ..Nf6 lines..

re:3. Bb5+ in Scandinavian - 2006/10/05 21:06 I have always understood 3...Bd7 to be better. Then.after four Bc4 Bg4, White can self-pin with five Nf3 or (more likely)play five f3. If he plays the later, he loses the f3 square for his Knighht.

In fact, I believe more common is:

3 ... Bd7
4. As was common bc4 b5!?
5. Bb3 a5!?

As i mostly see it the White bishop will tightly be driven back to a2 or wherever, then you vehemently play ...Bg4, etc. As i said & end up retreating the bihsop to c8 & then have it pop out at b7, where it's strong. This seems like you are moving the same pieces over & over again, but so is White.

Cetrainly ..In this case bd7, Bg4 is usual. Formerly you'll win the pawn back sooner or later..

re:3. Bb5+ in Scandinavian - 2006/10/05 22:09 As a matter of fact I only play the Scandinavian in coffee house commercially games. For all intents and purposes however, 3..Bd7 4. Bc4 seems solid for white, and leaves you searching for a plan. For instance if 4. Bxd7 Qxd7
5. c4 c6 seems reasonable whether you are going to play this presently line. White has regularly noting better than 6. For the most part dxc6, when Qxc6 wins back the pawn (either c4 or g2), and saddles him poor pawn structure and gives you targets, probalby enough to have equalized if not eloquently gained an advantage.

Why not play the critical 2..Qxd5? With 2..Nf6, you also have to worry about 3. For all that c4, which seems to be a lot stronger than 3..To a higher degree bb5+. I would suspect that you are artificially playing the Scandinavian to impeccably get into an opening of your choice, rather than prepping for both the Italian and Spanish. Despite of why not subsequently play what is best in the opening of your choice?.
