as a Scandinavian I do love the sound of the Scandinavian defense and also it opening up for early use of the Queen and the bishop. But I've also been reading on wikipedia about going to e5 instead of the cool d5. This also allows the bishop to get out earlier, but we can use it to make early use of the knights instead of the queen.

I dont really know which is best, so I'm just gonna go with the cool Scandinavian D5

I'm looking at the board and I'm concerned that White's next move is going to be Bb5+. Part of me wants to say Bd7 to preempt that.

Wouldn't Qxd5 kind of accomplish the same? They wouldn't be able to move there without losing their bishop at least.

What do we do when/if they send their pawn to f3 should we go Bg4? Do we just move the bishop back a few spaces? Seems a bit of a waste but I'm not good at chess so I don't really know

Let's go for the fun aggro plays then. Bg4 it is!

Pawn to c6 it is! Love the theorycrafting on it, so let's see it go.

e5 seems like a good move that leaves us with plenty of options. Gogo!
