Players ratings. You can see the way this works in the FAQ section.

As for 2) the general rule is for 500 gap you won't win any at all, 400, 1 from 10 and so on.

Onderwerp: Scandinavian

Am I right in supposing that Larseenn you speak of is the one from way back?
I know the queen manouevre is risky but it is sometimes enough to catch (albeit weaker) players off guard and wrap things up quickly. I have a good example on IYT.

Onderwerp: Please explain

Nf6 turns it into a gambit where Black has to hope white cannot hold onto the pawn

20. maart 2003, 15:08:31

Onderwerp: Another one to investigate

1. e4 d5 2. ed
Now what?

Qxd? or maybe take a risk with ...e6. Ideas?

Onderwerp: Openings

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 d5

What??? Has anyone made this work? it seems to come up a lot but I think it loses after
3. cd Nxd
4. e4

Onderwerp: In most cases

1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4 c3 tends to be the mainline so white can hold the central pawns.
After 4. Nc3 then 4. ... cxd4 5. Qxd4 Nc6 gives Black a good advantage. Whereas after 4. c3 , 4. ... cxd4 is a bit petty as after 5. cxd4 White has the central pawns and experience tells me that trying to take advantage of the weak looking a5-e1 diagonal is pretty difficult for black.

13. maart 2003, 09:58:03

But what about 4 ... Nc6 then one of your alternatives? It is too early for cxd. White's advantage rests on the central pawns, black's position hinges on the queen side.

Onderwerp: Analysis

Does anypne here want to talk analysis? What are your idea for the French Defence after,
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3. This seems to be the mainline, but you could alos have a look at 4. Nc3 which I consider far weaker.
