Looking at your screenshots, I just wondered: does having a black screen background make people more likely to interpret answers to their posts as being negative than would be the case if they had a white screen background?
Not trying to be funny here, I ́m genuinely curious. Wishing you all the best!

yes, i literally didn't think about that
so I'm going to put a red wallpaper so that people interpret my messages even more negative
I'm joking, in reality I didn't think about my wallpaper at all when sending my messages

thanks for support

Most people are really helpful here. And if they point out your mistake over and over again, it is really tiring if keep repeating wrong arguments.
what I want to emphasize is that this is recurring
that would mean that I am never right, and that I say wrong ideas all the time
this suggests that I make mistakes in what I write 24/7
even if it's normal that I'm corrected for the mistakes I make, is there one time when I'm right?
if I'm wrong all the time about everything, it's a handicap
emphasizing the fact that this happens all the time, I want to prove that it's not normal
> Don't ask if you are not interested in answers, or are not prepared to challenge your existing understanding.
the fact that I say that I don't think anyone will support me has nothing to do with the fact that I don't care about the answers
to question my current understanding is to accept and agree that every word that comes out of my mouth is wrong
I disagree with this, I may make mistakes in my comments but I don't all the time
Looking at a couple of the threads, they seem to be more of an open-ended discussion. Nothing really to agree or disagree on.
People will have all kinds of opinions, and this is the internet.
I don't think you should feel depressed about anything here. And again, most things are not about being "right" or "wrong".
For example, asking why there is no "Scandi Advanced Variaion" is a fair question. Claiming that 2 e5 is a good move, well, yeah, that's "wrong", and you can argue forever about that. The longer you try, the worse you will feel at the end.
Chess should bring you happiness, not depression. And staying away from the forum can be a simple step in that direction. It is so easy to get just way to emotional about stupid things that do not matter at all.
@nadjarostowa
You are right, we should not insist on things that are not very important.
but it seems strange to me that the move 2 e5 is not in certain cases a good decision
since it is concretely equal 0.0, it cannot be bad
if we understand the idea of this e5 move, the position is not in white disfavor
on a position which is equal to 0.0 a good player can lead a game without making an error regardless of the comfort of the position
in e5 as I said, a player who owns White may find this position comfortable because when the pattern resembles that of caro-kann, he may be used to playing this structure
although exd5 is better, this does not prevent e5 from being a good strategic decision in certain cases
and don't confuse what I'm saying, I'm not claiming that e5 is better than dxd5
obviously it is strongly recommended to run exe5
I'm just saying that e5 is not necessarily bad, and that in some cases it can be a good decision
sorry if I'm going off topic, but my chess player soul wants to talk about chess
as I said previously the main reason I am here on the forum is to discuss chess because I am passionate about the game
my goal here is not to always be right, that's not what I'm looking for

Generally, White wants more than to avoid being bad. One can, if one wants, accept a 0.0 goal with something like 1 e4 d5 2 e5, even if a more effective choice (2 exd5) is readily available, but that is not the sort of decision that normally gets much attention from the chess world. Sometimes, there can be flukes where people talk (mostly, I think, in a humorous spirit) about things like the Bongcloud, but the idea of 1 e4 d5 2 e5 does not seem to be funny enough to get that sort of attention.

You have talked about 1 e4 d5 2 e5 c5 3 c3 Bf5 4 d4 e6, but that is the same position as the one that results from 1 e4 c6 2 d3 d5 3 e5 Bf5 4 d4 e6 5 c3 c5. With experience playing against the Caro-Kann, White is quite likely to want something better than the sort of position that results from 1 e4 c6 2 d3 d5 3 e5 Bf5 4 d4 etc.

I think that it is fairly common for a “0.0” option like 1 e4 d5 2 e5 to be regarded as an error by White when there is an alternative (2 exd5) that is good for perhaps a 0.3 advantage.
Downvoted for writing as if you're having a stroke or something. Learn what paragraphs are.

I'm sorry I didn't make a paragraph but you have to understand me
I have a life, it takes me a lot of time to write here because:
I'm French and I don't know how to speak English at all.
so when I use Google Translate, if I make a paragraph, it often happens that the sentence is not coherent.
for example in the middle of my text, Google trad sometimes changes the meaning by going back to my first lines
so to be able to adapt better and save time, I write line by line because it is easier for me to adjust the meaning of the words
I think I've saved time to be able to do something other than writing here, like leaving the house...

yes, many play prefer exd5
because exd5 is objectively better
I just insist on the fact that pushing e5, even if it is objectively less good, it can have advantages
it can objectively be a strategy that destabilizes the adversary
I debunk the fact that the e5 move is hugely bad
basically I say that e5 is not a disaster as some people here might say

1 e4 c6 2 d3 d5 3 e5 Bf5 4 d4 e6 5 c3 c5. in this sequence I must have missed something
because 2 d3 is a bad move in the caro-kann opening
in what I said, I just wanted to say that the white structure resembles that of the caro-kann when playing e5
I didn't mean the identical sequence of 1 e4 d5 2 e5 c5 3 c3 Bf5 4 d4 e6 and 1 e4 c6 2 d3 d5 3 e5 Bf5 4 d4 e6 5 c3 c5.
even if there is better than the sequence 1 e4 c6 2 d3 d5 3 e5 Bf5 4 d4 e6 5 c3 c5. the position will almost always look like a Caro-kann after the move e5

ColosseChess did not specify at the beginning that it is because of the alternative exd5, that therefore the move e5 is an error, in the first lines one could believe from this first saying that pushing e5 is concretely a error
as if the evaluation gave a white disadvantage, I could have understood better, but hey..., on the other hand ColassusChess could have been more precise, even if what he said could have been guessed on my part
Afterwards I don't think that e5 is a big mistake because of the exd5 alternative
as I said, the e5 can have advantages that can destabilize a Scandinavian player, so on the one hand, objectively speaking, this is not an error
if the player chooses to play e5, and it is done on purpose, one cannot deny that it is an error on his part since he did it on purpose
if he plays e5 it's because he has ideas...
then yes in general it can be considered objectively as an error but small
it's only because when we play exd5, it increases the risk for white to have a good position and often win that e5 is a mistake, that's all
in e5 there can be interesting lines,1. e4 d5 2. e5 c5 3. c3 d4 4. Bb5+ Bd7 5. e6 Bxb5 6. exf7+ Rxf7 7. Qb3+ e6 8. Qxb5 the black king can no longer castling.
No one agree with me either, why should you be sad just because of the thumb down.
