The Scandinavian Defence: Essentials (Black Repertoire)

By Theo van Stratum

A Black repertoire against 1.e4, built around the Scandinavian Defence (1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 or 2...Nf6). Covers the two main queen retreats (3...Qa5 and the more modern 3...Qd6), the knight-recapture Gubinsky-Melts System with 2...Nf6, and how to meet the early 3.Bb5+ check.
