    A very easy system is the big centre variation, where white takes on e5 and then plays d4 and c4. You get a safe small advantage in every line and the best variations for black often require a completely different plan from the main line with Nc3 that many at club level will not know very well. When I went through my 1. e4 phase (as a junior) I had a 100% record in this variation over a fairly large number of games.

    The Scandinavian player should decline with c6 to get a Caro-Kann. The main lines of the Scandinavian and Caro-Kann are very similar and result in identical pawn structures. Furthermore, the Scandinavian player should already know the Advance Caro-Kann because white could make the mistake of playing 2. e5.

    You’re 100% right, but you’re giving scandi players too much credit. At least 50% of them I run into at the 1100 level just give a bunch of random Queen checks for the first 3 or 4 moves after 3.Nc3. Most people play the Scandinavian because they want to be aggressive. They don’t actually understand their opening.

    It's interesting; the line after Qe1 for two moves in a row there is only one good move for black on the computer. Black needs to Nc6 - Nb4 (that is why Bb4 is a bad move and Bxc3 makes it even worse) to attack the d3 bishop, just in time to stop the d3 bishop - Qh4 line up. Now this can become slightly bad for white because the bishop is "trapped" and always going to get traded, kinda similar to how Na5 stops the fried liver attack because the bishop cannot escape the trade. If Be2 to escape not only does white's attack get neutralized black would Nxc2 to win another pawn and gain tempo by attacking the rook.

    Another Scandinavian player here! I've been trying to tidy up the lines people pull out if they don't care for the main lines with the white pieces. On black's fifth move, you say that people are going to primarily see two moves. . . neither of which are amongst the top four moves for black - the best move being a very natural square for black's pieces, and black has a nice lead. These are sharp lines though! Still have to work to see if any of these tricks exist down those lines. All that said, I rarely see the BD against my Scandinavian, and it may have caught me unprepared! Fun opening. :)

    When bishoop takes pinned f3 knight and we take back with the queen, what to do if queen takes d4? If we go queen b7 takes pawn and traps rook, then the black queen is already pretty close to our king My visualisation while typing is not that great, maybe it's simple, we block checks with pieces, we kick out the queen from our territory
