The Sharp Scandinavian with 3...Qd6 (Download)
by Andrew Martin

 "Easy to learn and easy to play.“ These are the foundational principles upon which the Modern Scandinavian has been constructed, proving to be a reliable choice for club players over the past few decades. When confronted with 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3, the spotlight here is on the dynamic 3...Qd6, diverging from alternatives like 3...Qa5 or 3...Qd8. Exemplary games showcase all the major responses, excluding 3.Nc3, providing a comprehensive and timeless overview for club players without demanding excessive study. Instead of rote memorization, the author concentrates on presenting model games that elucidate the plans and concepts inherent in the Scandinavian with 3...Qd6.

The Scandinavian proves to be a pragmatic opening, offering strategic advantages that you can leverage to your benefit. Incorporating this dynamic opening into your repertoire is facilitated by two valuable tools. The ChessBase Opening Trainer allows you to systematically practice the variations, reinforcing your understanding by drilling the opening moves, predicting the emergence of positions, or replaying moves at your preferred pace to unveil the underlying concepts. Additionally, engaging in positions against Fritz enhances your comprehension of the ideas elucidated by the author in the accompanying videos.
