Playing the Sk(c)andinavian Defense - 2006/10/28 22:32 I have played the Philidor Defense (sometimes the Philidor Counter Gambit)
against e4 for a long time

1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 d6
3. d4 Nf6 (not Nd7 because it's plenty of traps focused on f7)

But I'm facing too many problems to get the Hanham Defered variation (as Old
King Indian Defense) because *everybody* exchanges at (on) e5.

4. dxe5 Nxe4
5. Qd5! (white is slightly better)

I'm starting to play the Sk(c)andinavian Defense in this way.

1.e4 d5
2 exd5 Qxd5
3.Nc3 Qa5
4.d4 Nf6
5.Nf3

I like to play here 5... Bf5 with the idea Bf5-h6-Bh7, in a forced case, but ..., how to avoid

6. g4 Bg6
7. Ne5 e6
8. h4

Or even

6. Bd2 Nbd7
7. Bc4 c6
8. Qe2 e6
9. d5! cxd5
10. Nxd5

Maybe 5...Bf5 is not a good move and I should go for

5... Bg5

and then the exchange for the white night.

What do you think about

5... c6
6. Ne5 Be6 (seems ugly)
....

I would like to hear some opinions about this lines of playing..

re:Playing the Sk(c)andinavian Defense - 2006/10/28 22:34 In my opinion the best motion is 5...c6 because 6.Ne5 Be6 is playable (may publically be a bited ugly, but this aint so important) & gives Black a solid position.
The main line is 6.Bc4 Bf5 7.Bd2 e6 8.Qe2 [8.Nd5 Qd8 9.Nf6 is another important variation] Bb4 [not 8...Nbd7? 9.d5! & White is better] with an interesting position..
