| drukenknight: In that c3 line, dont forget black can hit B on c4 like this: 1 e4 e5
2. Qh5 Nc6
3. Bc4 g6
4. Qf3 Nf6
5. c3 Na5
6. d3 d6
7. Bg5 Be7
8. Bxf6 Bxf6
9. Ne2
this seems at least equal and actually quite nice for black... But another question: why doenst black simply bring out his Q in this: 1 e4 e5
2. Qh5 Nc6
3. Bc4 g6
4. Qf3 Qf6
I think the reason is that there are a lot of positions where a k-side finachetto works well vs whites Q. out of a lot weird openings. but I dont like to commit to ...g6 this early vs the wandering Q. If the q moves a move later, I will probably do it. |

| Swapmeet: Against 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nc6 3. Bc4 Qe7 is my preference, so that you can gain tempo with 4. ... Nf6, and maintain a more flexible position. While the line with g6 works fine too, I find I'm a bit less comfortable on the dark squares. |

| chessdrummer: See the article at The Chess Drum (www.thechessdrum.net) titled, "Nakamura dives into the Matrix." There are also links at the bottom of the article about 2.Qh5. I believe we associate 2.Qh5 with what beginner's play when they learn chess, but it is quite playable. |

| Swapmeet: Does anyone play the Queen's Pawn Counter Gambit? (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d5) It's been my main defense for awhile, but lately I've been having trouble with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5 3.exd5 e4 4.Qe2 Nf6 5.d3
MCO only gives 5...Be7 6.dxe4 0-0 7.Nc3 Re8 8.Bd2 Bb4 9.0-0-0 as good for white, which it appears to be since white will hold at least an extra pawn. I've also tried 5...Qxd5 and had mixed results. Can anyone who plays this with black recommend a decent line? |

| alexmagnus: <rochade18><you can beat anyone who plays Qh5>. Even after Nakamura took this opening into his repertoir? (in blitz he plays it in almost every game..) |

| duu: I think that 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 is a underestimated opening. It gives a level game, if black knows what to play, but isn't chess like that? I like the positions after, let's say
1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 Nc6 3.Bc4 g6 4. Qf3 Nf6 5.Ne2 |

| alexmagnus: 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 Nc6 3.Bc4 g6 4.Qf3 f5!? 5.exf5 Nd4 6.Qe4 d6. How is the line going on? |

| Reegan Milne: <swapmeet> The queen's Pawn Counter Gambit,( or elephant Gambit) is simply a bad way to lose a pawn since after 3 exd5, black has no good way to keep the material balance, 3...Qxd5 4. Nc3 cost black too mcuh time while 3... e4 4.Qe2 doesnt work ( as you are discovering). The best hope, if any ,is 3....Bd6 aiming to mobilize the kingside pawn majority. English FM Johatham Rogers and German player and publisher stefan Bucker have analysed it extensively and are probly your best bet for practical examples of this idea. |

| Averageguy: What do you kibitzers suggest that I play as white after 2.e5? I am a tactician, and I play mostly against 1500-1800 players, so what opening seems appropriate? |
|

 |
| refutor: you mean 1.e4 e5? why not play the scotch or the two knights? (2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4, 3.Bc4 respectively). open lines, development etc. |
|
| Oct-20-05 |
| Averageguy: Hm, I might give the scotch gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.c3) a try, but the italian often allows players as black to equalize and sometimes get the initiative, I play the black side Of the two knights defense and I often win due to superior initiative. I will ask my club champ who is rated at 1980-2000. Thanks for the advice. |

| refutor: good way to get initiative v. two knights is 4.d4. the play is closer to the scotch and avoids all the theoretical ilnes of 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Na5 6.Bb5+ etc. incidentally, a line to try v. the two knights is bogoljubow's line 6. ...c6 7.dxc6 bxc6 8.Qf3

 |
| who: yeah - how do you do that? |
|

|
| refutor: lol go to the kibitzer's cafe and look back at the last couple of days...if you enter the FEN of a position it will bring the position up |
|
| Oct-20-05 |
| Averageguy: <refutor> You might have got me wrong, I said that I played the black side of the two knights defense, not the white side. |
|
Oct-20-05
|
| refutor: but i said if you wanted to try it as white and avoid the main lines that you claimed you got the initiative with as black. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d4 and the bogo line as above |

| Oct-20-05 |
| Averageguy: Thanks, I think I understand now. |

| Knight13: Is the opening 1. e4 e5 2. Bb5 bad? |
|
Feb-07-06
|
| who: Presumably after 1.e4 e5 2.Bb5 c6 gives black the initiative. |
