In this short blitz game I win against the Scandinavian Defense. One of the drawbacks of this opening is that the black queen can get kicked around. My opponent decided to retreat the queen straight away, but then traded pieces rather than developing which gave me a small edge in the opening.
A nice short blitz game. This game shows why you do not want to let two rooks invade on the seventh rank.
I haven’t yet studied the advance line as black in the Caro-Kann. I know that you can get French Defense type structures and ideas. I know you want to get rid of your light squared bishop, so that it is not stuck behind pawns. I also remembered this interesting idea of Nh6, then Nf5.
This was a fun Sicilian Defense game. On move 3 my opponent played b3 which I rarely see and we entered into a closed Sicilian. I gain a slight advantage when my opponent castles queenside and manage to press for a nice win.
