because after bc4 my knight can't go in c3 for the rest of the gameeven if I play c3

Your comment doesn't make sense. Try again.

After 1.d4 f5 2.d5 Black should be happy that White gave a tempo.

But what does your "bc4" mean? and what has it to do with c3?

Drakul777

In the scandinavian opening I play bc4 in this position but do you have an other possibility.

I play c3 to do nc3

Toldsted

I really don't understand. The Scandinavian is 1.e4 d5. How do bc4 appear?

And do you mean Bc4 or bxc4?

How and when do you play c3?

1.e4 d5 is fine

2.e5 is a mistake. White wins space, but lose momentum. Better play 2.exd5 to get developed pieces with tempo.

2...f6 is a big mistake. Don't fool around with the f-pawn without good reason. White would like to play d4, Black should play 2...c5 to meet this idea. I understand that you are afraid of the future of you Knight, but it can probably develop fine at e7 or even h6.

3.exf6 is also a big mistake: White helps Black to develop and exchange a strong e-pawn for a weaker f-pawn.
