Scandinavian defense

Sort:
rpkgs

The Scandinavian is just the London of black openings. It is not really god though, as white gets a large center and quick development.

Lower rated players as black like to play the Scandi for tricks. If you’re white and know the tricks, you will just be better.

If you are black and play a more solid variant, you’re in for some of the dullest games of your life. It’s the boringest of openings with very little theory and the same positions. I used to do well with it, but it’s dreadful.

Tension is a terrible opening though

Tennison gambit is very bad. Better should be 1.d4 with BDG, but not a good idea neither.

Just play normal chess and take!

i do play normal moves in longer games but im too used to the tennison to play normal in blitz and bullet.

BDG is not sitting well with me and i lose my lead in development very fast.
