Chess Openings: Scandinavian Defense
One of the oldest chess openings, the scandinavian defense, black immediately challenges the center from white’s e4 with d5. After white recaptures black has two options to respond. Black can immediately recapture with his queen and reach equality in material or play Nf6 and try to gain a spacial and developmental advantage. If black chooses for Nf6 both sides need to keep their eyes open as there are many small traps that both sides can fall for that will destroy their position. www.thechesswebsite.com Chess Software used in the video can be found at http and www.chessok.com

Viva la Scandinavia! Nice video :- ]
eh good video, still prefer a caro-kahn or frenchish defense… btw other day i won with the birds eye view trap. first time ever aganst the bird opening!
Yeaah, Kevin you my man!
I prefer Caro-Kann, Scandinavian just lets white gain tempo and over-develop.
Caro-Kann is my style :3
Keep making awesome videos xD
how the hell did i get 7 thumbs down??? lol aw whatever. this vid is genius though man
Excellent explanation. Thanks.
what if white protects pawn with bishop?
what point in video are you referring to?
1:04
not sure I’ve ever seen that move. You could play an aggressive e6, leading to quicker development. After dxe6, then Bxe6 and after Bxe6 again, then Qe7. You may just want to capture with your knight though since your queen is supporting that knight.
i don’t hate you or anything, but i really want to know where you are getting this info from, some 800′s or your making this all up plus one more thing unless if your a master don’t recommend a move
I take then main lines that you can find anywhere. Then I run them all through deep rybka (rated 3000+). Then I play the opening myself for about a week to get a little more insight.
Nice…
what if white dosnt take the pawn?
black gets fucking raped
ICELANDIC GAMBIT!!!!!! rocks
In the end of the video, why dont just Kd5, Qd1, KxF6, Qxf6, Bg5?
Just a technical note, but White does not gain a tempo with 3.Nc3, as White has moved a pawn twice with 1.e4 … 2.exd5.
kevin u r awesome
This is not a good video.
I agree. If you’re explaining black, explain black. Don’t mix the two sides. Your explanations lose tempo.
Yes he does. Blacks queen moves 2 times after the knight attacks it.
1. copy and paste this
2. send this? to 9? other? videos
3. hold your breath for? 10 seconds
4. press refresh? twice
3. LOOK AT YOUR BACKGROUND! it? will be freaky!?
