I'm excited to share my favorite antidote against the Scandinavian Defense. The resulting positions are full of attacking possibilities. As far as I understand, Black is struggling right from the opening.
Don't hesitate to share your ideas in the comments below.

Thank you very much for advising Bd2. Interesting complications occur that might be in white's favor as black is probably not expecting this move.

You are welcome! According to Chessbase database 5.Bd2 is the third option by popularity after 5.Nf3 and 5.Bc4, so as you pointed it may come as a surprise.
Cheers.

@@GMJoseGonzalez My bot gives Qcheck instead of Qa5. That is a pity. Continue the good work.
