2013年7月13日 · It has come to my attention that the main line of Scandinavian defense simply loses a pawn (as white). Renowned Chess author Robert M Snyder mentions that 8...Bxc2 is a mistake (in his book - Winning Chess Tournaments for Juniors) because of 9. d5, but I don't understand why 9. d5 gives any advantage...

2021年9月17日 · Bxc2 opens up the file for white's rook, and gives white the chance for a strong attack on the queen side. Bf4 pins the knight, x-rays the queen and king, and frees up c1 for the rook to take advantage of the open file

I was simply thinking that bxc2 runs into Rc1, pinning the bishop to the rook... And then winning material via blacks king being faster... But on closer inspection, white is still probably winning in that case.

2024年3月15日 · 1. Qxf8+ Kxf8 2. Bxc2 Rxc2 wins back the exchange but this probably isn't good enough. The White Queen cannot move laterally or diagonally since it's pinned by the Rook.

2024年12月27日 · A common line of the Scotch Game, Bc5 attacks the d4 knight and puts indirect pressure on the f2 square if the knight moves.
