Havn't watched the video and genually curious about this opening. I consider the scandinavian a really bad defense maybe mediocre at best. Almost all the games when I played against Scandinavian defense I have won, the line that counters it is just very obvious to spot and learn. The idea is to keep attacking the queen so you can develop your pieces. It's a solid example of why taking your queen out in the beginning is a terrible idea.
Edit: Alright so it seems I've been mainly playing against the patzer variation and that's why I didn't like this opening. I have also played against queen to a5 or b5 variation though and there's some nasty traps and discovery there as he mentioned with pushing d pawn and discovering with knight and bishop. But some of the variations look promsing like queen to d6. Still I think most(not all) lines for this opening are bad which means the opening has little flexibilty, Naka for example wouldn't like this.
Good video. Nice laugh at 24:27 – 24:47 !! I am not a Greek though!! And I am also bad with names!!
Why is he sounding like he's crying
Magnus plays Bishop for knight because he's trying to achieve a reversed London, his favorite white opening. He sees the queen side bishop as a liability every game becauses it's usually trapped in a non London/non-scandavina (reversed london)? system. So he just trades it off asap.
Is it me or is this all about destroying the scandi. Seems like unless you play the correct sequence, checkmate is close
My favorite in blitz games (works up to 1800 Elo very well). If someone playing white knows what to do, you will lose but most people are gonna make a blunder as white.
How if I denied the d4?
i really like your channel and it has really been instructive but the lectures are too long.
This is wrong, it is suspicious not suspect. Suspicion is not suspect.
What is his previous lecture where he classifies oppennings? Couldn't find it
18:32 why white bishop moved from c4 to b3??? 🤯
I needed this guy 25 years ago
Timeline anyone?
He makes very detailed videos but good
This is not the scandavian main line
22:04 Rc7 after Nd4 is poor. Better line
1. … Rc8 (mate threat by queen Qc2#)
2. Nd4 (overloads queen on bishop and knight) .. Rc4 (forks queen and knight. Queen cannot protect both knight on d4 and bishop on e7)
I like this defense, but I play another line, I don't play c3 and after Bg4 and h3, I like to put queen on h5.
I am a really aggressive player but I don't like Skandinavien Defense
Suspicious
what if d5 is ignored and pushed white pawn to e5?
This would be better if black was at the bottom.. Since I play the Scandinavian..
Any good videos on a5 Scandinavian?
Really excellent presentation. I think this is the opening I've been searching for. Thank you!
Queen a5 pawn c6 is blacks retreat then pawn e6 is the ultimate flexibility.The dark bishop and queen can pivot is the idea. I play that exclusively in response to 1 e4 for many years now and I quite prefer it just for the flexibility it brings to black .
All are good
25:52 if this knight moves away (drags bishop)
3…Qd8, was this not covered? There is a lot of good play in that line.
