He moves king pawn2. I move queen pawn 2. He takes me. I take his pawn with my queen. He brings knight out to threaten my queen.
Is this familiar. What's a good way of attacking a King-pawn opener?
Why can't I learn all the proper short-hand for pieces?
Can tell you that it is the centre-counter game (aka Scandinavian Defence), but cannot discuss any more than that until the game is over.

You should take the time to familiarize yourself with it; people take you more seriously if you can refer to moves with actual notation rather than descriptions.
Originally posted by lauseyNo, good point, of course I don't want help. It's about the 10th time it's happened though. I'll ask again when I've lost :-)

Originally posted by Mephisto2heh heh. true. I've just looked up the scandinavian defense and it was first recorded in 1435!!!
'growed up'? Sounds as if there is not too much danger for that 😀
I love this species sometimes, that people were discussing exactly this nearly 600 years ago, probably when they were supposed to be working too. I'm not trying to cheat on my game you understand. My rating will happily testify to that.
