anybody rated 1700 and above have any comments on an opening such as this? i found it to be relativley as sound as the kings gambit and am wondering if it is worth studying.

I REALLY hope it's not as sound as the King's Gambit.

The Scottish never give anything away without a very good reason (but I am not 1700).

so does that say the same about the danish? a gambit has nothing to do with the people just that the person or people who played it in a certain place. i'd prefer people who aren't stupid to be in my threads making comments worth reading.

I don't know if it is deserved, but the Scottish have a reputation for being tight. Hence the joke.

One day you may develop a sense of humour. But I very much doubt it. Sad really.

And threads do not belong to anybody.

It's a sort of in-joke in the UK that the Scottish are tight. Coupled with giving away a pawn, I think it is mildly funny. But as you are American you wouldn't appreciate that.

If a thread 'belongs' to anybody it is to the people who contribute to it, not the one who started it.

You didn't create the forum. And if you mean the thread, if you post in a public forum, expect public answers.

I happen to be a scotch gambit expert, and could offer loads of advice. Unfortunately I'm not 1700.

Meh, sure, I've never used a scotch though.

From either side.
