About this ebook
Feeling stressed by the Scandinavian Defence? You're not alone. The opening moves 1.e4 d5 followed by 2.exd5 immediately disrupt the symmetry, leaving you to navigate a maze of potential setups from Black. But worry no more. In this practical and concise guide, seasoned chess author and Correspondence Master Marek Soszynski equips you with a complete and powerful repertoire that simplifies your preparation and puts you in control.
Inside, you'll discover how to:
- Tackle 3.Qa5 with the unconventional 4.Bc4.
- Boldly respond to 3.Qd6 by also playing 4.Bc4.
- Neutralize 2...Qxd5 using 3.Nf3 (in a bonus chapter).
- Counter 2...Nf6 while sidestepping or defusing tricky gambits.
With this comprehensive yet focused resource, you'll be ready to take on the Scandinavian Defence, boost your rating, and turn the tables on your opponents. Prepare to meet and beat the Scandinavian with confidence!
