DESTROY WHITE | The Modern Scandinavian

Hello everyone! In today's video, I have the Modern Scandinavian opening. This is a fantastic and aggressive reply to destroy white's e4. This is completely sound objectively, and there exists multiple gambits, notably the icelandic-palme gambit and the portugese gambit, where sacrifice of material is used to crush white.

Posting uncommon gambits that not many people watch is a plus for us because not many people will know about it. Thank you.

Best opening video for me. Hanging Pawns goes in depth but as beginners we dont need so much. We just need general ideas, i think.

Been getting into chess after playing as a kid and I've gotta say, you are by far my favorite channel for learning openings and variations. Straight to the point, clearly labeling variations, no wasted time. Thank you for this channel.

The Scandinavian Defence was one of the first openings I learned as a beginner. Now that I've played more and studied some openings for white, I stopped playing the Scandi as I never really liked my Queen out directly at the start of the game. So I got down in the explorer and tested around with some Scandinavian variations without taking the pawn directly. I came to the modern Scandi: Looked it up to find more, and found this video, perfectly explaining everything I'll need for this as a beginner. Thank you very much!

I just wanted to thank you for an extremely well explained variation of the Scandinavian 2NF6 gambit.

In truth. With YOUR explanation and some practice, and by some practice I mean playing 300 to 500 games, in Blitz chess, with a 5 to 10 minute Time control.


The player will (BEGIN) to understand the this variation of the Scandinavian.

A player show be able to LEARN and PLAY this defense fairly well.

DON'T be scared. That's MY thinking on trying to pickup a new chess opening.

Just think of it as 20 games a day, and in 3 weeks to a month you'll have a new opening to play.

Just Don't give up or let anyone discourage you.

It has worked for me.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS MODERN SCANDI .

I used to play this over 50 years ago.

[Philsmusic]

7:49 actually Queen to e7 is slightly early here. You can really catch your opponents off guard with bishop takes bishop and when Queen recaptures then play Qe7 there are some tricky lines and beautiful sacrificial ideas even after whites response to Qe7. Check it out with the engine and top gm/titled player games the lines are insane and not well know for white players.

11:37 I just play g4 and f4 here 😂 and good luck winning back the pawn lol

[DigeStoryy]

Please include PGNs of the variations so we can study later

[veteran_dino]

ahh I need to study this now as white because I face scandinavian all the time

[oscarparkinson]

What is the best approach if the Iceland palme gambit is declined?

[Nintendomasterone]

What do you do if, after Nc3, they push pawn up to C4, protecting that center pawn? You're down a pawn and the most forward pawn is now protected.
