Scandinavian Defense – Learn All the Key Variations and Ideas

Overview

Why Was This Course Created?

After some chess games you’ll feel the necessity to learn opening theory. As a trainer I used to have problems on what opening shall teach beginner and ambitious chess players. Some openings needs very good memory, others need positional understanding. I was struggling for some time but finally I understood that Scandinavian Defense is the perfect opening to start with!

The ideas behind the opening doesn’t require strong strategical understanding and extra ordinary memory. You just need to exchange the central pawns, your d-pawn with White’s e-pawn. Then you need pin the enemy knights by your Bishops and finally put your remaining pawns on e6 and c6.

Even a 5 years old kid or a busy adult person can use this opening, Scandinavian Defense, with success after watching my comprehensive, entertaining, and education videos on this opening system. The only thing I’m asking is only some of your precious time.
