I support both suggestions of the Orang Utan and the Scandinavian, and I have a rather queer suggestion maybe: What about arranging a tournament with 3...Qe5+ instead of 3...Qa5 in the Scandinavian? Jeremy Silman at www.jeremysilman.com argues in an article that black is good after Qe5+, a tournament with this move forced could be a very interesting argument in that debate! Let me know what you think! If I can help with anything, let me know! Regards, André
