How To CRUSH Opponents with the Scandinavian Defense!

welcome to another gotham chess openings video  today i'm going to teach you the scandinavian   defense with the black pieces time stamps are  on the video player first we're going to look   at the theory and how to play it and then  i will take on two of my twitch subscribers   after that there are also moves in the description  you can post those into any pgn reader or software   that you would like i have nothing else to say  here we go the scandinavian defense begins after   white plays the move e4 if you're looking for  something with the queen's pawn it's time to click   away no please don't click away then my engagement  rate goes down so e4 and black responds with d5   more traditionally uh e5 is is kind of considered  classical then there's the french defense the   sicilian the scandinavian defense forces the issue  right away and one of the reasons it's really good   for beginners and intermediate players looking  to attack with the black pieces is that white is   already going to be confused they're like wait  a minute i already have to make a decision so   obviously first we're going to look at pawn takes  d5 because that is how the opening works decisions   have to be made move by move if white just leaves  the pawn there you will take it and then we'll   look at that stuff so takes and now even even here  black has a few options black can play knight to   f6 before taking back black can play c6 that's  known as the klusterbauer gambit but queen takes   d5 is kind of the go the go-to now we are going to  look at the classical move knight c3 well it's bad   i mean i thought it's bad to bring out the queen  yes and no if you put the queen to safety forever   it's going to be fine if you play queen here  and lose your queen three different ways   that is why you're really taught to safeguard  your queen because everyone's afraid you're gonna   lose it but it's like sending your kids out on the  public transportation ultimately you know they're   gonna have to learn someday right so the queen has  to be trusted first we're going to look at this   then we're going to look at knight to f3 and  then we'll kind of look at everything else so   knight to c3 here there are three ways to play  the scandinavian defense the most common is to   rotate the queen over to a5 that puts the queen on  the edge of the board and then you can develop the   rest of your pieces accordingly the other way  is to bring it all the way home international   master john bartholomew famous for many many uh  chess openings uh not even chess openings just   instructive chest content likes to bring his queen  all the way back and then there's queen to d6   as well first i'm gonna look at primarily moving  the queen out to the edge of the board if you move   the queen out to the edge of the board the game  might proceed as follows white should play d4   knight and this pawn out is the best way for white  to play this position if white plays this position   in any other way it's already a little  bit sub-optimal just so you know so d4   and now we develop our knight to f6 we  are mostly going to be castling short side   so our development will look like this we need to  develop our light squared bishop then we need to   play e6 why why can't we just play e6 because then  we block this bishop in do you see how that works   so this bishop needs to come out to one  of these two squares we will play e6 and   then we will develop this bishop and castle  now if at any point our queen is targeted   we always have a very useful move pawn to c6 in  fact it's so useful some people even play it now   because what c6 does is it allows you to bring the  queen back to c7 but i said more often than not we   castle short there are positions where for example  if white does not occupy the center with the pawn   we can very quickly castle queen side that would  turn the position into something a little bit   more aggressive that might look something like  this if the kings are castled on opposite sides   it means we're going to have a war because we can  launch our pawns at their king and they can launch   their pawns at our king and our queen first so  castling on the same side leads to a bit more of a   peaceful game whereas the opposite side castling  is uh i mean it would lead to something it's more   risk more risk more reward but obviously you might  lose um and you say well what's the difference why   can't i play this this one way all the time  levy why do i have to choose depending on how   my opponent plays well here's the thing if the  opponent plays d4 you can't put your knight out   why not because they're going to attack it that's  how chess works move by move the game goes into   its own unique territory so depending on how white  sets up that is how you are going to set up you   put your queen out to the side and then knight f3  you develop your bishop right i i've included the   move h3 for example with the bishop coming back  here but you know for example if even without h3   or with h3 let's say white just plays something  like bishop to e2 to get out of getting pinned you   can play for instance uh knight to c6 is an option  uh to try to castle queenside in this position   because if you get attacked uh you have this  right so you can already try to castle queen   side or you can play e6 they can castle you'll  play bishop to e7 for example maybe they're going   to try to come after your queen we already  know what to do if that happens we play c6   and then if let's say white plays rookie one this  is the kind of a structure that you get with the   scandinavian when you've castled on the same side  in the scandinavian defense your game is going to   be a lot slower you're going to be looking  for a pawn break in the center you're going   to be looking to put your rook on d8 this rook  will go to c8 when the knight develops because   this is where the board is going to open up if  the d and the c pawn disappear you want your   rooks on these open lines so the f rook to d8 this  rook to c8 this doesn't have to trade that's the   other thing if h3 maybe you take but to be honest  you could bring it back you're completely fine so   that's that that is really in a nutshell in  about i don't know five and a half w what's   what's the time of the video five minutes and 42  seconds that's that that literally is the theory   of the queen a5 scandinavian grand masters  like to put their bishop on f5 not on g4   why because it's considered here to be best for  white to play g not bishop e2 which i showed   you but to play g4 this is considered  the best according to opening theory   uh the likelihood of you facing this probably  well maybe g4 you'll face but the likelihood   of you facing then knight to e5 which is one of  the best moves and then h4 which is the other   you know best move at this point you're either  2200 or you're playing a cheater so yeah i mean   that that's that's really the truth if  you're watching this in your title player   this is why at the highest level this kind of  strategy of knight f3 bishop e2 is not played   normally white is playing g495 and so if you  put your bishop on f5 you'll you'll notice that   the position that we get actually looks strikingly  similar except the bishop is on f5 and not pinning   the knight but i recommend for most of you to put  the bishop on g4 i think it's a bit more forcing   and the truth is the likelihood of you facing that  computer line which is considered good for white   at the highest of levels is pretty unlikely  but again you can mess around with both um   okay that's that uh we've mainly looked at queen  a5 to be honest we can also look at queen d6 the   right way to play this setup just sliding back one  square is like this it's very important you play   a6 so that they cannot play knight to b5 now your  setup is bishop out and night out and castles long   in when you put the queen on d6 you have to go  long okay because then you're going to stockpile   pressure the best move here for white g3  to play bishop g2 and bishop f4 attacking   your queen the likelihood of you facing this i  mean if you're an intermediate player maybe a   little bit more likely but i would say 1500 and  less the chance of you getting g3 bishop f4 is   i mean it's very little the fact that  people are and again you can just   continue to your development and if they  play bishop f4 you can always go here and   attack their pawn it's not the end of the game if  they play the best way to try to get an advantage   but there is also the move queen d8  which which obviously is not a bad move   uh queen d looks very similar to queen a5 except  you volunteer to put your right it looks very   similar so the setup that you play after you  move your queen very consistent very consistent   and you ultimately decide which way you want to  castle now we've really only looked at knight c3   what if white plays like d4 so against d4 you  can just play knight f6 and if they play knight   c3 it's a transposition so now it's it's the  same thing it was before just with a different   move order right now your queen can move there or  there or back to d6 and it becomes the same thing   if they attack you with two pawns i mean generally  queenie for check is good because if they block   with the bishop you take the pawn if they block  with the knight i don't know that's just kind of   stupid looking that's my evaluation you attack  with the center you finish your development   you go here look for bishop b4 check uh also on  d4 you can just kind of attack the center with   the pawn and uh if they take you you can mess up  their right to castle d4 is not a very good move   it is much more common to play knight f3 i  actually recommend this in my course on e4   and here what i like is i like to play bishop  out and go for a very quick long castle in my   course in this position i recommend h3 bishop  to h5 and knight c3 and the idea being that you   attack the queen and force it to go back and  then here you can create some play with like   b4 for example very aggressive trying to attack on  the queen side again the likelihood of you facing   an unprepared opponent who will play like this  zero the likelihood of some of the more you know   intermediate players watching who play somebody  who does have an openings course paid content   that they like study like book or video well  then you have to be a little bit more prepared   the point of this video is to give you the intro  that's why i put the moves in the description to   get you thinking about how to play the positions  but ultimately you do need that extra layer of   analysis to go the extra mile but if you're  watching this as a beginner uh and you know   you just kind of want to get to playing by all  means this is as about as much as you need you   need to know that against knight c3 you have  options and against knight to f3 for example   uh you can just develop quickly and try to castle  queen side with a quick e5 after so something like   this you know knight c6 da da and later you can  go like this like this and even start some sort   of attack on this side of the board if in the very  beginning white just like i said leaves the pawn   i mean then you take it if they play knight c3  um you can turn this into a french defense you   can turn this into a kara khan defense or you  can play pawn takes and then if they take you   you can actually play this and the funny  thing about this is that if they go back   welcome back to the scandinavian defense queen  a5 queen d8 is completely fine uh if they just   move somewhere else well then you can finish your  development uh the most important thing is not to   get caught by the tennyson gambit this is a very  tricky gambit the idea being knight to g5 they   want to take the pawn back there's a few ways to  play against this the easiest is just being e5   just play e5 counter attack the knight finish  your development and you're fine if white   plays a move like d3 defending the knight  i mean there's a few ways to go about this   knight c6 is good don't go gobbling every single  pawn in a gambit oftentimes you can take one pawn   and while your opponent is spending time winning  that pawn back you finish your development like a   normal person and you're all good that's basically  it that is literally how you play the scandinavian   i guess i haven't covered pushing if they push  this kind of looks like a karo khan i would say   the best way to play this put your bishop out then  play e6 then play c5 and then play knight c6 it   would be helpful for you to study the karo khan  advance variation so that you can tell the the   similarities in the pawn structure okay now that  you heard me say that karo khan advance variation   go look that up afterward if you kind of want  a supplemental material i now am going to play   against two of my subscribers uh who were so  gracious uh to play a game against me here   is a 1200 blitz player and then i will play a 17  1800 rated blitz player uh i am going to play d5   i don't know what my opponent is going to play if  they play knight f3 i'm hoping they play knight c3   but maybe they'll play knight f3 this person  could have my opening scores which would be a   little bit okay they played d4 which is fine let's  play knight f6 we don't know if they're going to   play c4 or knight c3 uh e5 is also good but my  hope is that yeah right exactly my opponent plays   this i think i'm going to go to a5 just because  i want to play the main line i want to show you   just the main position i i mean you yourself can  experiment i wanted to give you all the options   um and the rest is up to you okay cool one thing i  actually didn't even cover which i'm just going to   cover in the middle of playing that game uh there  is also a gambit just so i have it there is also   this gambit b4 uh i don't remember what this is  called but you just take bring this bring this   back and then you play the position normally  it's actually a very legitimate gambit though   okay knight f3 knight c3 uh bishop to  g4 it's everything that we have planned   now we know here that h3 is the best move  if my opponent plays h3 and and g4 n95 um   um i i mean i i mean i don't know i'll be  extremely impressed because that is considered   the critical main line i okay h3 is played  i don't think we're gonna get g4 knight e5   like i said if we do i'll this i'll be the yeah  okay yeah highly unlikely but uh now we play e6   and to be honest my opponent is leaving the door  open for me to castle queenside and suddenly i'm   getting very devious thoughts i'm thinking knight  c6 the only drawback of castling queenside in the   scandinavian is the fact that your queen doesn't  really have a comfortable kind of waiting area   if that makes sense but i'm going to go for it and  let's see what happens i'm going to play knight c6   i think this is considered sub-optimal because  here bishop b5 is a very good move if my opponent   plays bishop b5 so like i said i'm allowing them  to play wow oh beautiful great job excellent   uh honestly fantastic because now again if i  go long they're gonna take take and my king's   a little bit open i'm not sure if i like that very  much very risky should i show you all how to play   that position is the question uh with long castles  very risk you know what let's do it just to learn   okay let's do it just to learn um the pros and  the cons right so i'm volunteering a damaging   of my own structure my king is open but we are on  opposites oh no no no no no no no no well i mean   maybe that'll happen to you all so there you go oh  no oh aiden it was so good it was such a good game   i feel so bad i almost didn't want to take to be  honest so knight takes f7 is threatened i can't   guard it because they'll take me uh i guess bishop  b4 i mean the best move here is just to move the   rook and then let them take but i'm curious  if there's something else i can do bishop b4   knight f7 bishop c3 i actually think that's  completely oh wait wait this is also a threat   whoa whoa whoa it's actually not so bad for  my opponent maybe rook takes d4 sacrifice and   then just pick up the knight that's an option huh  it's not over you know but i'm gonna go bishop b4 oh man aidan's very upset aiden's  literally writing in discord as we speak i said i'm so sorry yeah it happens it happens  sometimes when subscribers play they get they play   a little bit too hastily but that's okay now you  see the different tactical ideas of this opening   and you see that even strong players make mistakes  so hopefully that's motivation that this is good   uh good opening for you to play as far as this  position now i'm okay losing a point or two of   material because i am the only one with the queen  on the board not to rub it in but it's true the   more pieces that i trade off the board having that  queen is gonna be the ultimate deciding factor   uh i can take and i think that's fine if they take  my bishop i take back and slowly i am chipping   away at my opponent's pieces um of course they  he you know they they really should take and then   move the rook i will then pick up this next pawn  that's that's the problem with the queen it's just   it's just two op i mean what are you  gonna do what are you gonna do um anyway i always tell my subscribers to  play on uh to not necessarily resign but that's just because you never know what's  going to happen and it's still decent practice   to try to create counter play in a position so  let's play rook d8 i'm gonna pick this pawn up   i'm gonna try to play this pretty fast um okay  take take now i can actually change my uh lens   completely i can go directly for the king so  you'll notice that when that trade happened   uh that side of the board opened up but i'm  just gonna take on d4 uh and and simplify okay rook is threatening this let's take on c2 if rook takes pawn queen takes so rook is threatening and  then rook is threatening   i guess i can take another pawn the  more pawns we take the better oh   aidan aiden aiden aiden no no no no no i'm sad  all right we're going to analyze this a little bit and everything's going to be all right let's just  push if aidan takes this it's rook d1 mate   otherwise we're just going to push if rookie  1 the easiest thing to do is just sacrifice   i mean it's maybe not the easiest thing but it  does the job because the rook is cutting off the   king from from here we will go here to not hang  our own rook and then we will promote and then c2   and then c1 again very important that we  held the rook there and now we will go   for a ladder mate with check check and mate  so this is a very very easy technique there   let's analyze that very briefly i you know i  had this moment where i played knight c6 and   i'm gonna tell you all right now that objectively  speaking it's probably not great uh i you know i   went for a position where i castle long and i  open my king the position is still very much   in the balance it's not like i'm losing but it's  a little bit risky especially if white plays g4   again this critical move but you know volunteering  yourself for this position brave stuff uh   because if queen to h5 i mean it and then all  these pawns start rolling and the bishop oh   yeah you know not easy um i can also just play  c6 and again if the bishop lines up an attack on   my queen i finish my development i bring my queen  back and i castle and we already know how to play   that position uh with bishop on e7 for example  castles uh and then bringing the queen back   rook to the middle and slowly expanding very nice  and solid position uh after short castle but a   little bit passive it to be honest it you i think  you will win and maybe lose many more games if you   play knight c6 it's just a more swashbuckling  approach you know you you roll up the sleeves   you're like let's have a go right like hockey  players you know just sometimes you gotta fight   some people fight for a profession and some people  in hockey you know they just fight because they   want to have a little bit of fun uh if my opponent  had not played the move knight to e5 still it's   a very complicated position for example if my  opponent had finished the development i would have   immediately utilized the open file for the rook to  maybe play c5 and break in the middle i also might   have rotated my queen back to try to put some  pressure here and now g4 isn't very good because   we take take and its check is the big difference  and we pick up the knight here so it's a very   complicated position this knight c6 move and if  my opponent hadn't played bishop b5 here and maybe   played bishop e3 well then i get a great position  actually long castles this is a super interesting   position maybe i play bishop d6 rook g8 and g5 try  to attack on this side of the board maybe that's   how we go about it maybe i play bishop b4 hit the  knight something like that right um but that's   basically how the position works for the next  game i'm playing a stronger player i'm playing um   a player who is quite strong right at about  1800 i think yeah literally 1801 uh i was off   by a point time to uh time to blow up the computer  now this person told me that before the game that   they were going to prepare my course uh because  they have my course and they were going to play   that line against me so knight f3 we know that  we go bishop to g4 my course goes bishop to e2   knight c6 uh here i think i have castles can  play a few different things here i'm going   to play long castle c showing you how to play  this all right this person this person's playing   all of my ideas against me uh i feel very much  under pressure let's go bishop h5 they're gonna   play knight c3 and now queen d7 and my opponent  probably will play the move b4 so b4 is what i   have so this is a very well prepared opponent  right this opponent knows everything about the   this is very suspenseful do they  know that the move is b4 here   please do they know the move is before don't  check the notes we'll check the notes cloud   main remember that the move is b4 oh they've  played b4 okay yeah so there this is opposite   side casting at its finest i'm not so worried  about b5 i'm significantly more worried about   uh getting steamrolled later down the line so  for now i'm just going to develop my knight   if b5 there's a nice little trick here with  bishop takes f3 uh and the point is that if   pawn takes i bring my bishop back so this at  this point it's a little bit more theoretical   knowledge but this is also okay so we play knight  to d4 and now i think there's a move here queen   to f5 which is very good for black i think my  opponent has to play d3 to stop queen f5 but um   i can also just play h5 g5 and go completely  insane so basically like after aft after h5   g5 one of us is going to lose the game um g5  is super aggressive and i'm not really sure i   like it because i don't want to lose in a video  you know trying to play an opening and then uh   you're gonna be like oh my god this idiot lost  this i'm never gonna play this opening if this   person lost i have to make a good case for this  opening so here's queen f5 uh the point is that   i'm looking to take the bishop and damage the  structure i'm also looking for this so don't be   so afraid in these positions of this opposite side  castling attack um in this case you know in this   case it's all good now we take with the knight and  we are guaranteed to damage the structure right so   we've taken taken um and now the structure is a  little bit loose with this loose structure now we   have more of an endgame position maybe g6 and  bishop g7 is an option just very solid e6 not   really looking to complicate the matters is good  knight d5 could be a trade that i'm looking for um honestly i don't know i can  also go e5 to just take space   i think i'm gonna go here and develop the bishop  on the long diagonal but to be completely honest   with you i don't know what the best option  here is uh it's a very tough position i'm   also anticipating that bishop e3 is coming  which is going to attack this pawn like   this attack is not over you know they're still  gonna try to walk walk me down on this side   and i'm gonna try to activate my bishop and  really try to get this down to an end game   where there's less pieces because those pawns  from my opponent are not going to be very good   this move is looking to make a trade they would  like to trade and undouble their structure   uh i'm a fan of my opponent but i don't think  i'm going to take that so lightly i don't want   i don't want to trade and help them i'm just  being honest i don't want that i think bishop b2   is going to happen now i can also  move my rook up with the intention   to move it over and target the weak pawns  if i take they're going to take my bishop   and then my rook is under attack if i were to  move my rook well first of all let's go rook   d5 because i just really like where this  rook is i like the prospects um knight f6   i will take and the difference with this big  trade is that we end up in a rook end game   where still the structure for my opponent is bad  and these pawns are what we call over extended   they they aren't really back and supporting the  structure they're a little bit too far right so   um okay interesting they take like that well now  i'm not gonna take with the bishop i'm gonna take   with the pawn so i've transformed the end game  into bishop versus knight i'm gonna push my pawn   up a square and my bishop is gonna see the other  side of the board this end game is a great example   of why the bishop is a little bit better than the  knight and the opponent immediately blunders they   forget about this diagonal and now we are going  to win material and it's not going to end very   well for the opponent knight g5 also looks like  a decent move but it is further cause of problems   because h6 will trap that knight i think so that's  kind of interesting i can take take bishop for   the rook but but if h6 the knight is trapped so  it's actually probably better to stay a bishop   up than trade the bishop for the rook i know i can  take but pause for a moment if the knight takes   me and i move over the knight is just completely  trapped on f7 it has no it couldn't go back and it   couldn't go back not just because those pawns  were weak but they were literally in the way   so that was kind of nice we managed to absorb a  good amount of preparation from my opponent who   knew what i was going to play and came fully  prepared we mitigated the damage they played   one bad move out of the course's preparation and  uh we traded pieces and now we have an end game   they try to take the second pawn that's not a  bad decision to be honest i could have maybe   taken the rook now and basically said this  knight is trapped that's actually so funny   i could have done that i could have  taken and then brought the rook back but   okay that would have been a little bit too  much um okay now rook hate because obviously   when the bishop moves i'd like to open it  and attack there king g2 is going to happen   i think what i need to do is bring a second rook  to the h file and again these over extended pawns   are not doing white any favors um the rook is  going to mobilize the bishop will rotate back   uh and hit this so how do we do this the best way  maybe yeah let's just bring the bishop immediately   to c5 this is called a reroute so we're going to  you know maybe i'm not doing this the right way i don't know maybe g5 g4 maybe cleaning this  up with g5 g4 right of course the opponent   wants to push in uh i'm gonna take then i'm gonna  push i'm gonna take and push now the pawn is in   the way of the rook the rook cannot infiltrate  we're gonna move the bishop out and we're okay um bishop c5 and now full blockade so we've  completely blockaded the pawns which means   we negate the movement of their pieces rook  to e1 is the best move looking to infiltrate   and rook to e1 will be met with this in fact i i  probably could have just played that move right   there uh but now let me play g5 i've got that  other idea to break here break it all open and   get to the king i also can take on b6 i'm not  converting this the best way i'm playing faster   uh than i can actually think and that's uh that's  that's kind of why i'm making some some slip ups   uh let's go rook here now white has to play here  and then we will combine the two ideas so we're   playing rook h4 and now g4 they cannot take  because of the open file here so take take and   we're going to get in and then ultimately the game  is going to be decided on that side of the board   so pretty decent a pretty decent uh 30 minute  video i mean i know we're we're kind of wrapping   things up here it's a very easy opening to  play you'll have to just basically not lose   your queen and you'll have your opponents on  the back foot after e4 you're gonna play d5   and i think you're going to be  in great shape let's take on h3   uh and now we'll probably push if the king goes  to h2 i'm just gonna lock the king on the h-file   so that's kind of funny if the king goes here  i'm just gonna not even let it get off they   don't do that unfortunately for me uh let's play  h2 now the root can't move if pawn up then bishop   slides all the way down locking the rook away oh  that's very brutal there for white bishop to g1   that rook is in jail for the rest of the game  uh and now i can probably just turn my attention   to well i can turn it my attention in a few ways  here maybe just rook f3 and like this or like this   or the b6 pawn or even but but and just try to  walk up that side of the board so i'm monitoring   whether or not i can be attacked but it's not  looking very likely that i can be attacked and now   i will take and uh i think the opponent's gonna  play a little bit longer like i said i always sell   my subscribers like no need to resign you're  not impressing anybody if you resign early   might as well play it out but of course cloud  main is 1800 so cloud main might resign because   at 1800 you you more often than not are resigning  this position just because you trust the other   1800 to beat you but again you don't impress  anybody if you resign so let's play check   and i still have to be a little careful a little  careful let's give a check king has to go this way   uh i'm gonna go rook h3 trying to trade rook  c7 is a move it is most certainly a move and   now i'm gonna play i could do a few things i  guess uh king here for example if rook takes   okay i'm gonna give a check forcing the king  to the back rank obviously rook trade is   you know a thing and now rook a1 and we're  threatening a mate from both directions   potentially if i get my rook also to the second  rank so we're threatening our one mate and as   we threaten rookie one mate it cannot be stopped  so king f8 a little zigzag the rook cannot check   us anymore that's actually a good move that's a  good find uh but now i will go rook a2 and now   the opponent cannot stop mate from both directions  so rook h1 is a mate threat there and it's   unstoppable i'm threatening a mate from both  sides the rook yeah well i take and that's the   end of the game so it was a good game that was a  good game uh knight f3 the easiest thing to do get   your development like this and now if white were  to play something like d4 you already have tactics   you can like take for example take take and just  take this pawn it's the whole idea of this setup   uh when you have this stack on the d-file um  you'll take the knight that's what you're gonna   try to do and take on d4 and if white plays like  you know d3 well then you can play e5 and you   get a great position and then you can play knight  queen bishop etc but hopefully this opening serves   you well i hope you enjoyed the video uh if you're  a longtime viewer thanks so much for watching   again if this is the first video or one of the  first few that you've watched from
