Hey Graham, all right, but why so many diagrams spam forum, rather than put a few games in a single diagram, as it is described here in the post No. 3

http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46562

just asking...Thanks for the matches and keep on good work.

In editing the thread, a couple of posts were moved that should not have been.

Here are the contents of those posts:

Hi Graham,

What is the overall record for White, so far, in the Scandinavian?
As of right now, it's +37 =67 -14 (60%)

Not that Black is losing, necessarily, but if White plays well according to theory it is difficult IMO for Black to do better than draw, and Black can easily lose.

One main line Black is doing badly in is 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qa5 4. d4 Nf6 5. Nf3 c6 6. Bc4 Bf5 7. Bd2 e6 8. Nd5 Qd8.

--Jon
White now with a +8 =7 -2 record in this line (68%).
Looks like you might be right about this particular line Jon. :wink:
I apologize for any inconvenience and for my inability to handle the editing cleanly.
