Pfff... I actually developped a favorite opening with
1.e4, 2.Bc4 and 3.Qf3.
I know the opening require a precise development (you have to respond correctly to each of Black move in the start), is flawed but the pressure set on f7 can be quite disturbing, and it's quite usable in blitz... ^_^

2. Bc4 may not be the best response to the Scandinavian (1. ... d5) :P.
Hey guys, thanks in advance for reading this.
Does it ever tick any of you off when a player, who plays white plays 1. e4, you respond with a move such as 2. ... e5, c5 or c6, and they play either 2. Qf3 or Qh5? Or 2. Bc4 ... 3. Qf3 or Qh3? It's happened to me quite a bit. And I don't mean to be rude or anything of the sort, but doesn't it ruin the game for you? To verse an opponent who plans to simply try and get a cheap win? I'm not saying this because of sour grapes, I've never fallen victim of Scholar's Mate. (I see the opening way too often when I host 'Welcome to Chess.com' games.) But do any of you guys experience the disappointment of seeing your opponent use this?
Thanks again,
Vincent
I find that players who get the Queen out early tend to be on the losing side of the board more often not, mainly because whilst you develope your Knights Bishops etc, the opponent has spent many moves with hopping their Queen around the board . I would advise to get a Queen exchange rather early (after developing Bishops and Knights), then I would say the player who wasn't over-active with their Queen would be with an advantage.
i read this topic and am quite interested. i got beat with this opening too. but only because its so rare. i've seen people use it on this site but nowhere else. i play chess alot and i didn't know the defense (or i forgot it) and i lost. but then i fired up the strongest chess engine in the world. (not rybka not robbolito dont ask its better, and im not sending you it) and i played it against the computer then i let the computer do the rest. it came out as a draw. actually white had teh advantage most of the game. strange, isn't it?
There was that Nakmura blitz game. He lost but it had nothing to do with the opening.
The game posted was not blitz, but a standard FIDE event using so-called classical time controls: 40 moves in 2 hours, 20 moves in 1 hour and 30 minutes for the rest of the game.
In 2005, Nakamura also played the opening in a standard time control event in Chicago, and drew.
Garry Kasparov gave up a draw as Black against this opening once, too.
