My chess database has now over 70.000 games! The repertoire is aggressive and weird with many different queen moves from the scandinavian defense, albin counter gambit against d4 and also tarrasch, many strange Qh5 lines as white but also more orthodox ones, some alapin with Qxd4. Talk to me if you would like to take a look, and also feel free to give your suggestions.

a game with e4 and Qh5

This game is sort of typical, black plays what I think is a good defense, but still the position remains equal and at some point white gets able to do the breaktrough c5 and get an edge, helped by some weak moves until getting a kingside pawn majority that is maybe enough for the victory. Worth mentioning that this was a 1-minute game..

Ok so these early queen moves have been always considered pretty bad.

So the psychological aspects of the game become very intense, the bigger the effect the most orthodox your opponent and his personality.
The usual effect in these cases is the opponent thinking that you are really weak and treat you accordingly, probably not paying as much attention to the game as he should. Also, they may enter an interesting state of "tilt" when realize that despite the extra weak opening they are facing, they cannot find a winning line.

They actually cannot get a real edge in most of these lines - For instance in the line 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 black can play 2...Nc6 after which follows 3.Bc4 g6 (probably the best, some other defenses using the queen are also possible) 4.Qf3 or even Qd1, and the position is equal at least...

Surely black can also try the gambit line which 2... Nf6, giving a pawn for a better development. That can be a good strategy for a blitz game. Although i don't think this can be considered the antidote, either.

Some other ways to play include the 2.Qh5 against the sicilian, but probably then the best reply is 2... Nf6 for a fast development, and then white will have to choose between Qh4 or Qxc5. I have also tried these early queen developments in the alapin sicilian and they look good and , not that much known which is always a good thing.

But in the end these are all good lines to force your opponent to play the Real chess game and not only present you with the latest 25 memorized moves from the sveshnikov played by peter leko.

Another good thing on these lines is that due to the aggressive format of the lines, you can narrow a lot the range of possible answers making it easy to be prepared for your opponent replies.

For instance the scandinavian forces white to choose between some of the popular lines, or else fall into a position that quickly leads to equality or black taking the initiative. And we can choose between many lines, even some that are considered terrible like the Qe5+ line , which I can think can be played in many ways (not only the ...c6 and qc7 approach)

Your reward for having read all this -->

The real picture is on my Worthless blog

So the chess game is very complex and I feel we should use that in our favour instead of playing memorized grandmaster moves till the move 30 since that will be exactly what our opponents are waiting for :))

2...Nf6 or 2...Qxd5 in the scandinavian?

Ok so I have been suggested by gamosayros from freechess to play 2...Nf6 instead of Qxd5, however I believe the lines in the last are lots sharper, you become able to get an edge very soon if the opponent plays the very casual, "regular" moves!

As seen in this quick one minute game ...

I remain open however to move suggestions, although I tend to prefer the sharpest lines where tactical play can arise!

as you can see the early queen moves are the key not only to good chess play, but to the victory itself!
