I am thinking about converting to 1. e4 OTB to grow and improve my chess, but I have a very subjective but visceral distaste for facing 1. e4 d5.
As I look through various books and other sources, I see why the Scandinavian is considered a sister to Alekhine's Defense, as many of the middlegame positions for black definitely resemble Alekhine positions.
My problem is that I'd rather be black!
Anyone have any thoughts or insights as to how you face the Scandinavian, or would if you played e4?
