      no worries, just refute it by playing a different move after bringing your knight out to attack the opponents queen. people below 800 will cave when you vary things a little, and 1500 will lose time.

    My favorite opening as black! I never really knew what I wanted to do as black until I started playing this opening a few months ago. It feels so natural to me with the combination of early aggression followed by basically every best move being what you'd think based on the usual principles. Besides that (at least until now) it seems most people at my level (~900) are not used to this from the white side and end up playing all kinds of goofy stuff that leads to me being much more comfortable in the position than they are. Thanks for exploring this one, Gotham! Happy to see that we like to play it in similar ways :)

    5. Bd2 Bg4 is simply met with f3, gaining a tempo on the LSB. If black plays the best retreating move, 6...Bd7 and mindlessly still plays e6 to carry out the same plan, after white plays the very natural 7.Bc4, then, 8. Nd5 forces black to either give the queen up for 2 minors, or save the queen with 8...Qa4 and allow the d5 knight to fork the king and rook. Black has to know to retreat the queen to b6 preemptively, burning another tempo, which white can use for development. Nge2 + Be3 gives white an extremely solid setup with better placed and more active pieces and the ability to castle earlier than black.
    Seems to me that Bd2 and f3 shuts the whole line down. Am I missing something?

      My suggestion to casual players who run into the Scandi is to play either the small centre variation (Nc3 and d3) or the big centre variation (d4 and an eventual c4). Both of these offer white a small but lasting advantage with less risk than in the main lines.

Black can put the queen on d7 here but it usually comes to the kingside. It is one of the well-known lines of the big centre approach I mentioned previously and can also occur from the Nimzowitsch Defence. In this specific variation, white often ends up saccing the d pawn for a huge attack, which practice has shown will succeed more often than it fails.

    Within the last month, the Scandiavain has been my go-to for black, I absolutely adore it. Such a solid and fun opening, that in earnest, I only learned out of frustration after being annoyed with not knowing how to play against it myself. I used to to play the King's Indian a lot but I often felt too passive and the amount of variations and complexities that arise from it were too much of a headache for me to handle. If any of y'all are within the intermediate skill level - like myself - I highly recommend learning this opening! It's incredibly flexible, powerful, and it is niche enough that can prove quite tricky for white if they don't know what they are doing. This video was such a treat, thanks Levy!

I feel the real benefit about this is later on when most players below a certain range will simply loose track and screw something up....

    Watched your video on the ponziani recently. I'm trying to learn, but they keep playing Nf6 or some other weird move. Maybe a video on SETS of openings to learn? I don't know if that makes sense.
    For example, I'm aware that you can go Nf3, then play either e4 or c4 based off their response. However, I don't know if these two moves have the same style.

    In the position shown at 4:51 timemark, the Ne2 variant was not discussed. Obviously the Queen should move elsewhere, for example to retreat to B6. Making the position for blacks undeveloped. It would be interesting to hear more comments about this variation.

    I’m also loving the Scandinavian. It removes white’s ability to get a strong center and while arguably passive, it’s not weak because by not committing anything you don’t create obvious ideas for the opponent. At lower ELO’s the early Queen can be deadly if well managed too. Excited to see this variation!

    I feel like at lower elo people don't march into that position all that much. They're usually afraid to take the pawn for some reason.

    Hello! Amazing video. As always. I have put that opening into the test. 🙂I have played against the computer, 1500 rating. I am not near that level at all. Of course, the computer played Bg5 instead of Bc4. However, after playing pawn e6 and developing the Bb4, then the dark pieces can easily exploit the white pieces and have a better advantage. Great video and a very interesting opening. By the way, at the end, the analysis showed a 88.3 accuracy, with estimated level at 1650! Thank you Gotham! Keep up the good work and all the best to your GM journey.
