scandinavian defence - 2007/11/08 05:41why is not played an 4...e6 variations of this?? 1e4 d5 2ed5 Qd5 3Nc3 Qa5 4d4 e6 what white can play? can somebody analyse 5Qg4?
scandinavian defence - 2007/11/13 04:07For me '5. Qg4' is not good because your queen is pinned by the bishop there--not a good situation. Better to develop your minor pieces first.
scandinavian defence - 2007/11/13 19:38I agree with Charlie92. 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 4.d4 e6 5.Qg4 Bd7 6.Qg5 Qb6 7.Nf3 is probably playable for both White and Black.
But 4...e6 is no a very good move and White is able to start a continuation like 5.Nf3 Nf6 6.Bc4 and now I prefer to play the white pieces. White has developed three pieces and Black only one and Black also has to look very carefully after his queen.
scandinavian defence - 2007/11/13 20:00I suggest the Reprintsev Variation! It's very interesting... See the game Groszpeter-Reprintsev at Pardubice Open 1998. 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3 Ne4!? Andrew Martin has a very pretty article at The Week in Chess. Enjoy it! Marcelo Pagano

After 1 e4 d5 2 ed Qd5 3 Nc3 Qa5 4 d4, I think that 4...e6 is a bad move. Why hem in the bishop for no good reason? Play something like 4...Nf6 and wait for White to bring out the KN, then develop the QB, and THEN play ...e6. I don't see any advantage to 4...e6 vis-a-vis the other standard moves in the position.
