That's so unfair to the knight, too! I consulted this exact position with stockfish and Ne2 is the best move available, evaluated at +0.46 in white's favor. Covering with bishop e2 is obviously bad due to losing a pawn and evaluated at -0.44. You can, however, cover with the other bishop at e3, developing a piece and defending your d4 pawn (evaluated at 0.00 - all of these evals are at depth=45). The last available move is Qe2 I guess, but stockfish finds it to be just sooo bad, and I believe you would think so too.

Pawn takes d5 : 0:52 Knight attacks the queen : 1:18 What we have to developpe : 2:33 If our queen is targeted : 3:01 If white does not occupy the center : 3:19 Why you cant castle queen's side if they occupy the center : 4:00 What you want to be looking for : 5:09

Hi Levy, I find it really helpful when you repeat the key steps of each part you're teaching. For instance, in the Qd6 variation, after explaining the first few moves you come back and emphasize: "when you move Qd6 you HAVE TO CASTLE THE LONG WAY". This method, where you repeat, summarize/underline the most important part one more time before moving on to the next part helps us mere chess mortals memorize it. You don't always do this but it's really helpful when you do! Please keep that up :)

The good thing about Scandinavian as a beginner, is that it's a kinda forcing opening and a clear answer to 1.e4 that brings your white opponent directly into territory where you might be much more well prepared. So basically at low level you can prepare Scandinavian as your main weapon against 1.e4 (and also in the process of learning Scandinavian you gain a very important skill in chess of how not to blunder your queen to all variety of attacks, pins and traps), and not fall deep into many neutral openings where white has an initiative of choosing which way they go.

"If someone plays this against you, you're either already a 2200, or you're playing a cheater" Shit how do I play this as white now.

11:57 - THANK YOU! I've lost a lot of games when they pushed the pawn, trying many different things, but the first time I played that sequence my opponent resigned after 13 moves.

yeah i noticed a surge in popularity with these gambits from black in response to e4 and d4 lately, maybe last three or four months or so. I got bored and decided to learn some other stuff so I wasn't playing the same lines every game. Like reti and nimzo larsen attack. Those are a real challenge to adapt to coming from a background of mostly conventional center control openings. Not sure reti is a good fit for me. I like the nimzo though, especially with Nf3 as first move instead of the all-in 1. b3. 1. Nf3 is more comfortable as it allows transposition in to something more suitable if black plays in particular ways from there.

I am a 1000+ rated player. I have always been 1. e4 e5 player and I've seen that a lot of players at my rating have started playing Scandinavian lately. (Might be due to Levy's video) I face Scandinavian around 15-20% of times. Majority of others just simply play Italian or 4 knights opening or Sicilian defence. While playing Scandinavian against me, I just chase their queen and they simply lose their queen or lose huge material. I win around 99% of the times against Scandinavians.

Watched this video a month ago and started ising this as my primary defense. With success. Came back and watched the video and now i understand hopefully another level up!

Okay I know I’m 2 years late on this, but I just started playing chess and this video was super helpful. Particularly the first match with one of your subs and how he blundered the queen and rook. I ALWAYS miss diagonal threats like that for some reason and I would have made the exact same mistake. I missed a easy checkmate in a game yesterday because I forgot my queen could just take a pawn diagonally. So yeah, super helpful video, if only because it’s helping me remember how OP the queen is.

Hey, Levy! Unbelievable content, great stuff, keep it up! Just wanted to say I was surprised about two things: One, that you didn't immediately at the beginning warn not to ever retreat the queen to c6 because of Bb5. (May be too obvious, but nothing is too obvious...) And two, that you say around 6:15 or so that the h3, g4 attack on the bishop is "improbable" unless someone is extremely prepared. I always seem to be hovering around 1250 and my experience is that around this level or lower, MOST players don't seem to mind potentially over-extending to try to trap the bishop. But maybe you were making the point about most people rated higher than myself being a bit more conservative with their king-structure pawns after castling.

I was always fond of the Scandinavian but I never figured out how to play it exactly. This helped me a lot

6:20 now everyone is going to play that line no matter their rating

I love this combination of roughly 10min theory, just like your 10min chess opening videos, and then showing a game afterwards. More would be great :)

Thanks for the video! The Scandinavian defense is my favorite one!

I think its cool learning black openings, because as a low rated player, if you can force white into a line they don't know, it can turn into black advantage pretty quickly

Levy you are awesome! thanks for the content :D

Levy: “Or your playing a cheater if they play G4 Knight E5” Me: 450 rated who plays that every time they put their bishop there *sweating nervously*

How is possible to cheat on the the online chess?I'm rated 1700. It happened to me once that someone called me a cheater when i made a great move that won the game. I didn't even knew it was possible to cheat 🤦‍♂️. Then he said he would control if i cheated. And then he apologized to me 🤦‍♂️

Thank you for this video. After every opening video you make, half the players I face play the opening exactly as you have explained it.

1:48 knight to c3 2:16 queen to the edge 3:17 if white pawn not occupying center. opposite way castling 4:18 pawn occupy center. short caslting 7:12 queen d6. long castle 8:06 queen d8 8:27 pawn d4 9:14 & 10:24 knight f3. very quick long castle

Let me first say, that Adin, the 1200 that levi played first, would dominant me in chess and is probably a really cool and smart guy, but him blundering the queen and Levi’s reaction too it was so funny. 15:13

Amazing theoric content, thank you so much. It would be nice to have a series on middle game ideas for this opening, like what if the opponent does not blunder his queen, you know what i mean?

26:35 I also saw that white can try to save the position by attacking the rook with c4 and the best solution is putting the rook back on d8 because if it goes on d7, the knight can be saved by attacking the rook again with Nc5.

The more time it passes the better I understand your videos, I guess I might be getting better. Thanks for this amazing content!

Finally, a reason to use the Scandinavian Def.

Yesterday I tried the Scandi. I'm convinced Levy saw that game and thought it so bad he had to make this.

I’m amazed that I managed to learn most all of this independently. Still picked up plenty of useful info though, love your guides

Such an amazing video with great live examples at the end 💯💯💯🔥☺️

Didn't even finished watching the video but I'm already liking and commenting for engagement. Thank you for this Levy.

The first game of brilliant x move into blundering the queen is something I deeply empathize with

Was confusing to me why you recommended b4 at 9:40 because it looked like a free pawn but looking at it with a computer the follow up seems to be Ne5 attacking the queen and the bishop.
