Thx Stacia. Great stuff out there. I was analysing the complex Nf6 Scandi and then caught your vidéo. The Portuguese Gambit is à cool choice between the dangerousJadoul Gambit ( played by Carlsen ) and the venimous Icelandic Gambit ! Nice vidéo, il love the way you comment this line ! U hav à new sub !
I'm glad it was helpful and glad to have a new sub! Thanks and enjoy playing the Nf6 Scandi! I no longer have it as my main weapon but that means it is now a secret weapon. hehe :)
Thanks, me too although I must admit this is my placeholder opening and I do intend to play 1. e4 e5 at some point this year. Shooting for April 1st so far.
Delightful and honest. For me, as a beginner for years now, haha you point the way toward adventure and after all its only a game. Im just now crashing and burning learning Scandinavian and Icelandic. Thanks for taking the time to share it.
Awesome video, just what I looked for as a variation on the Icelandic after that nasty d4 move. And wow you did a great job ! Thanks a bunch from the Netherlands and looking forward to more ! :)
@@chessisbest Here's the page: www.physics.sfsu.edu/~chris/chess/Scandanavian.html If you make more videos that come from the Modern Scandinavian, I will link them also.
interesting video - one observation though - none of my opponents ever play d4 with the pawn on move 3. Also castling king side looks safer if you can find the time to move the f bishop of its start square?
Thanks for watching! And I would say yes. I think as you get stronger at chess you are less scared of weird pawn structures bc there is often also increased piece activity and initiative which can offset the structural defects. But it depends on each position if that activity is enough or not. Isn't chess great? :)
First time on your channel while I was researching the Scanda -Porto variation . Great analysis , insights and communication . I learned a lot !

Enjoyed the video - look forward to seeing how you progress with the Portuguese and the Icy

Thank you Stacia, for this awesome video.
Thanks for sharing this variation. I need to play a bit sharper myself. As a Scandi player myself, maybe I'll give this a try.

I want to point out the voice. Very pleasant to listen to
thank you!
very enlightening
I would very much like to find out in your editorial office about the rare second moves in the Scandinavian defense.

What if white plays g4 when bf5
It's the Center Counter.

Good one!! Thnx for sharing ur view and study. Plz come with few games with this variation.
So where are you going after 4.f3 Bf5 5.g4 - g6? to keep B on nice diagonal or d7 or c8 in order to keep an eye on e6 ? Engines show 5..Bg6 as best

Don't mess with the Scandinavian Defense.
What if d5 instead of c5
Yes that's my question too
What about c6 instead of the icelandic gambit?
yeah that's the other move called the Scandinavian Gambit
Is the Portuguese variation still possible if white plays 3. Nc3?
No,that will transform to Alekhine.
It's like
1.e4 Nf6
2.Nc3 d5
3.exd5
Or
1.e4 d5
2.exd5 Nf6
3.Nc3
In my limited experience (as a
