So far, Scandinavian opening: 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. Nf3

(White heading out into the unknown as fast as possible

)

Scandinavian Defence indeed. An opening that once was assumed almost dead because it seemed to violate some basic principles of opening theory (not to move the queen so early, for example), but as a matter of fact it can be found in the repertoire of grandmasters until today, and is a regular opening in tournaments on high niveau. Tactically it shares some structure with the French Defence and Caro-Kann, with the advantage that Black'S Queen bishop does not get locked so easily, as it is often the case in French systems. White usually has space advantage in the early phase and tries to fight for making benefit from that.

It's not an easy opening to play for Black, if White plays correctly. Also, White has modern answers to many of the once feared variations Black could choose. If correctly played, the opening gives neither black nor white significant advantages. But you can surprise your opponent psychologically with it - many White players do not expect to be confronted with it, and may not be prepared.

Hehe
I swear I will never know or want to know the names of any opening move.
For me such analysis takes the fun out of the game.

And it takes the victory out of the game, too!

In chess, knowledge is power. You never can know too much about chess theory. the more you know, the more powerful you can wield your greater arsenal of weapons - that simple!
