    Hi Igor
    My name is Giannicchi Alessandro, I was born in 1966, and I'm writing to you from Italy. I need some advice: I'm trying to play Scandinavian, and the variant that puts me in the most trouble is the following :1.e4,d5 2.e:d, Nf6 3.Nc3, C:d5, 4.Bc4! I think the best variants for Black come from 4.e6 or 4..c6, but then I'm not sure how to continue development, how to play after that. I would like to know if, in your opinion, how I should play and if there is a way to get out of development with some minimal positional advantage. Thank you if you can answer me and I congratulate you for all the videos you publish that are really worth so much! Thank you again, greetings from Livorno!

    You keep leaving things out. We're C players here, you can't just say "and you win his Q" when it costs us R+B. The pawns are even and he has the bishop pair. Yes, we're ahead in development, but isn't that less important now that so much material is off? See your final little thing at 9:00. I would agree that Black is "probably" ahead but it's not automatic.
