After my opening (white) to E4, if they move pawn to D4,---I move my E4 pawn forward to E5 then protect it, (Pawn E4 or knight F3, or both). This clogs up their center, and keeps a knight of theirs from entering the center of the board. I have not played a game yet where I have a disadvantage, but I don't play a lot to get real good. I try to play a little to get real good. :)

Hey Igor. I'm watching at your videos for about the last 2 years and to be honest it's the first time I comment. Man that was a masterpiece especially for me who love the Skandinavian. Thanks for the video. Good job !!
GREAT VIDEO because most of these traps don't lead to bad positions if the opponent dosen't fall into it. Even @1:26 if white plays de best move 6.a3 there is another trap after 6...Na6 7.d5 Nc5 then the white queen has to go back to 8.Qd1 if it keeps the pin in 8.Qb5 (very tempting) 8...e5 is winning for black (white queen trapped again) !
Big thank you again Igor for this spectacular way to play the scandinavian opening for black i love so much cause too much good options for attacking players!
Bro this Scandinavian video is better than levy's video Seriously he taught everything you need to know about Scandinavian tricks and traps and now I'm only going to play this opening against e4( Thanks to Igor Smirnov)❤
Debatably, this is the best video anyone ever created on Scandinavian!! I can't wait to see Qa4+ against me on the board. Thanks, Igor, for another brilliant show!!
I had given up on the Scandinavian until I watched this video. Now I'm not only winning with the Scandi but I'm beating anyone who plays it against me ;)
Love your videos Igor! I'm a big fan of the Scandinavian defense but struggle to play aggressive moves in the Scandinavian defense denied variation - would love a video on how you'd approach this ❤
I read an article about the Icelandic Gambit, the e6 pawn sac in the modern, in 1997 written by Kevin Spraggett, Canadian GM, about the Portuguese variation. I have been playing that set of lines OTB and of course in the past decade plus online exclusively against e4. This video is freaking GOLD for me. Its been a long time since I've been this excited about new lines! Some traps I discovered on my own simply with thousands of online games, but some of these ideas wow, I may gain 100+ elo OTB if/when I ever play OTB classical again. I used to play the Pirc, now that only happens when I mouse slip against e4. New Subscriber!
I like this version of the Scandinavian. I started getting really bored playing 2.e5 in blitz and getting into the same gioco piano or ruy lopez every time with knight pins etc. This is a really lively and open way to play outside of the box.
^ this, basically. As you go up the ranks, the responses shift. On low levels, people don't fall into traps because they don't notice the bait. On high levels, the don't fall into traps because they can smell the bait from a mile... as a result, learning the uncommon openings just for the sake of traps is IMVHO not worth it (unless you're playing blitz/bullet exclusively and just hope to be lucky enough) - there are traps as well in the (arguably) strongest openings like QG or Sicilian that can be exploited in many ways (maybe you'd be surprised, but even ~1500 players sometimes do common opening blunders against them) and the problem with Scandinavian is that if the opponent just plays safe, he'll be up either development or material - even if it's a small advantage for the opponent, I don't want to hand it out as a freebie in the opening.
You didn't ask but yeah like I never play the Scandinavian. Every time I play E4 and black goes D5 I just go D4 turning it into a blackmar gambit and most of the time, they just blunder and lose quickly.
i like this line. I used to get murdered when playing black, trying to play along d4 d5 (and declined or not etc), but after a previous similar video you did, saccing two pawns, you gave me a great tool to cover my *most basic game repertoire as black*, as I really had nothing against 1.d4 when playing black, as the queens opening seemed such maze of variations. This line is also very good, even though its a 1.e4 line, and seems thoroughly covered (i am a 3rd of the way through). Thank you Igor!
@GMIgorSmirnov thank you for taking the time to answer Igor. Been trying to lazy play this (i'll explain). It has come up a couple of times already, mostly the knight variation, ending up with the black queen in the middle of the board, so its good, it does come up. By lazy i mean not putting it in a proper training program, with all the variations, to help me memorize it. Anyway, i like, it, adds a bit of spice/variety and helps with recognizing patterns/tactics. As I do also appreciate, you always mentioning that these are nice as tricks, but to improve we really need to study. Hence the course. Also I guess all these spicy lines are perhaps another way by which the players of old did end up in the established positional lines, perhaps; that a lot of new players think, "no, I want to play my way" and resist instruction. Still for beginners, I hear its good advice not to go too much in opening theory. Thank you again. Update: Managed to get it half way right: lichess.org/Lj4WEanJ/black#32
I absolutely loved seeing the Modern Scandi when I played 1. e4 and had a 100% record against it at a time when it was surprisingly popular on the weekend Swiss circuit. I played the d4+c4 line but never ran into the Kiel variation (4...Nb4). Instead of 5. Qa4 there, 5. a3 N4c6; 6. d5 looks quite promising for white though, so I am not sure this is a scary option providing white just plays sensibly. I would be shocked if black would score even close to 80% from there aside from playing against much much weaker opponents. Personally I would hate to have to play the black side of that. I also played the d4+c4 (Big Centre) line against 2...Qxd4 but here the trick is to insert 4. Nf3 before pushing the c pawn forward. If black continues in traditional Scandi style after this, white gets a serious advantage so black does best to bring the queen over to the kingside and exert pressure there, which makes for an interesting game. If both sides play to book, white gets a small advantage but nothing special. Nonetheless, it is far enough outside of standard Scandi positions that I found most opponents to be uncomfortable in this line allowing white to consolidate central control and eventually launch an attack while black tries to organise their counterplay. The typical variation runs 1. e4 d5; 2. ed Qxd5; 3. d4 Nf6; 4. Nf3 Bg4; 5. Be2 Nc6; 6. c4 Qh5; 7. Be3 0-0-0; 8. Nbd2, after which black chooses between 8...e5 and 8...e6. The highest level example of this I can find is Morozevich-Rogers (Bundesliga 1999), which white won in a sharp game after just 26 moves.
I play the scandi against 1e4 95% of the time and I win a heck of a lot more of my games then I lose with that opening. However, this video just showed me some new tricks that have worked brilliantly so far. The first 4 games of trying them, I forked the queen 2x already lol and won the other two fairly easily. I'd like to see a video for how to handle white bishop to B5 - that's how I counter this version of scandi and it blows up their position every time.
@@ldpickett28 After 1. e4 d5; 2. ed Nf6; 3. Bb5+, the most reliable defence for black is 3...Bd7. Taking on d7 now is not good so white typically retreats the bishop to e2 or c4. If e2 then black just takes the pawn; if c4 then black usually plays 4...Bg4 (...Bf5 and ...b5 are also playable). White remains very slightly better (as always) but there is no question of the black position being blown up and for the most part you would just expect the better player to win.
This channel is going from strength to strength. The lines here are insane. I don't like playing the Scandi.. Or do I?? You make it Veeeeeery tempting..
I like the traps being shown. You should also show likely alternatives that just lead to normal development with some comments on the best next few moves. Such as after Black plays Nf6, White then plays Bb5#? Last thing people need is the clocking ticking down thinking damn, he's not supposed to play that, what now?
found this great but what if, instead of bringing the queen out, white plays pawn a3 to kick the first knight? does the trap just fail? edit: this has happened every time and completely shuts it down. following with b8 knight to c6 (to defend with the knight) or pawn to e7 (to open up the bishop and defend with that), either defence they just take the winning capture of the knight on b4. i really would like to play this opening but dont know what to do in this spot. can anyone help? seems like a pretty big flaw
Very tactical, but could be tricky if opponents don't play this exact line. What happens for example at 5:10 if White plays Kd1 and removes the discovered check with the Knight? Now you are just a piece down and White has the potential for moves like b6+.
That is an excellent question. In the same vein, at 1:50 what if white plays Qd1? It is listed as the 4th most common response, played in only 9% of the games, but it is probably the best.
@@hrvojedjurdjevic2123 Yes, your example is indeed the best move. However, it is hardly ever played (as you also state). Even if it is played, you still reach an almost equal position, with a slight advantage for black. Therefore, this is not something to worry about.
Regarding Trap 1: What is black supposed to play when white, instead of falling into the trap with 6.d5 plays 6.a3 instead? Looks to me like that knight on b4 has nowhere to go but a6. But after 6. .... Na6 white plays 7.d5 and wins the Knight on c6 because there are no tactical shennanigans based on the knight from b4 going to c2 anymore.
These videos are great. It looks simple only when you are explaining. When I actually play, it is like deer in headlights. I am already lost after 3rd or 4th move :)
This generation does not speak of Bobby Fischer, but he was the best chess player who ever lived. No, only the world champ once and did not defend it (he was cracking up right about then IMO), but if we understand how the world is falling, (communism destroying individual liberty and our free enterprise that free people created), and how Russia was using state supported chess to prove intelligence over the West,----we can see that "self taught" Bobby Fischer, (the individual), who was able to defeat them and make it look easy. That is the story---of mankind since the founding of the USA. The greatest chess player who ever lived, and the story was never told correctly until now. Too bad we ignore the liberty accomplishments we did in the past. Doug in Michigan.
Hey i i learned to play chess&Matt from a friend a long time ago. But never mastered it. I always liked chess&matt.for the moment am learning it properly and i have to say your videos is helpful every player am practicing with they use this kind of attacks with whit. Even woth black they always tried to attack Scandinavian way. But they don't learn sacrifice yet. And me too amd i know that it needed to trap your opponent. Thanks to. Your videos. But as i said there are a lot of beginners who learned to play in different manners so they don't think the same those trick may not work the same but i think it will still work
Hi, I would like to know how to understand when to open a deal, because it's quite important, and so everything is very interesting, thank you very much, I hope for productive cooperation)
Nice video. I've been playing the Qxd5/Qa5 Scandi for a couple of years but have been reviewing the Nf6 modern variation, hoping to add it to my arsenal. Just haven't played it yet. Any thoughts on how to meet the 3. Bb5+ line?
Sir you can make other types of videos like analysing games of subscribers or guess the elo or sub battle or game reviews etc apart from the normal tutorial videos. Just saying
There are plenty of educational materials, but the most overlooked basic fundamental and rarely discussed >>> Do NOT put your queen in front of your king. Do NOT put your queen 2 and 4 squares parallel away from your king.

Ok.💪🏻
GM so I would love to know that is there any variation after Nc6 then B4+
After my opening (white) to E4, if they move pawn to D4,---I move my E4 pawn forward to E5 then protect it, (Pawn E4 or knight F3, or both). This clogs up their center, and keeps a knight of theirs from entering the center of the board. I have not played a game yet where I have a disadvantage, but I don't play a lot to get real good.
I try to play a little to get real good. :)

Hey Igor do you give online coaching also
That was really cool to watch. Thanks for posting this video.

yes and that is a way more obvious move, especially for lower level players. Engine says white is up 1.28. Waste of time!

Even woth black they always tried to attack Scandinavian way. But they don't learn sacrifice yet. And me too amd i know that it needed to trap your opponent. Thanks to. Your videos. But as i said there are a lot of beginners who learned to play in different manners so they don't think the same those trick may not work the same but i think it will still work
Appreciate you watching!
The minute I moved my 1st pawn, I immediately got checked with the bishop..
Which you kick instantly with the pawn so no harm done and you have a solid pawn line 😀 and they have wasted 2 moves helping you get it
Do you have a video about the opening of the queen's Pawn ?
Search "my favourite agressive opening against d4"
Wooww fantastic traps..
Hi, I would like to know how to understand when to open a deal, because it's quite important, and so everything is very interesting, thank you very much, I hope for productive cooperation)
Nice video. I've been playing the Qxd5/Qa5 Scandi for a couple of years but have been reviewing the Nf6 modern variation, hoping to add it to my arsenal. Just haven't played it yet. Any thoughts on how to meet the 3. Bb5+ line?
Thank you for watching! 💛
Are there any fun tricks if on move 3 they instead bring the bishop out for check or just continue development and try to survive?
Unfortunately my opponents now play 2. e5. Can you please advise on how to play that. Thanks
Igor Nation never care about material in the Scandinavian Defense.✊🏻
Sir you can make other types of videos like analysing games of subscribers or guess the elo or sub battle or game reviews etc apart from the normal tutorial videos. Just saying
in the first game i see also that the black bishop can take the white pawn on C6 and win the white queen after check (at time2:34 in this video)
Please make video on Punish 1.Nf3
There are plenty of educational materials, but the most overlooked basic fundamental and rarely discussed >>>
Do NOT put your queen in front of your king.
Do NOT put your queen 2 and 4 squares parallel away from your king.
What about after they taking your pawn exd5 then you go knight f6 and they play bishop b5 checking your king?
14:42 and what if they play pawn to c4 (what most will do)?
3:25 ..e5 - "The move is good when it is the first move, but is even better when it is the last move!" Hahaha, brilliant😅
After white takes the bishop on b4, Nc2 looks like an interesting gambit as well.

Wow! A lot of fun - and I had thought the Scandinavian was a waste of time.
Thank you for watching!
Igor mewing is wild
