My favorite opening as black! I never really knew what I wanted to do as black until I started playing this opening a few months ago. It feels so natural to me with the combination of early aggression followed by basically every best move being what you'd think based on the usual principles. Besides that (at least until now) it seems most people at my level (~900) are not used to this from the white side and end up playing all kinds of goofy stuff that leads to me being much more comfortable in the position than they are. Thanks for exploring this one, Gotham! Happy to see that we like to play it in similar ways :)

LOVE these kind of educational chess video! I'd love to see more of this than games recap.

Super cool to see an update on this. I've been playing the Scandinavian based on your last video about it for a couple months now, and loving it.

levy:i perfected this opening. stockfish on the first move: No.

I use the Scandinavian for two reasons: my school mascot is the Norseman, and because it helps me create a Bongcloud with black

When I first learned the Scandinavian defense as a child, I loved it. Thanks for the flashbacks.

The Scandinavian Defense is my all-time favorite opening, and i will likely buy your course on it when i get paid

My suggestion to casual players who run into the Scandi is to play either the small centre variation (Nc3 and d3) or the big centre variation (d4 and an eventual c4). Both of these offer white a small but lasting advantage with less risk than in the main lines.

@@EnigmaChess 1. ed d5; 2. ed Qxd5; 3. d4 Nc6; 4. Nf3 Bg4 is one of the main lines. It is not losing. A sample continuation would be 5. Be2 0-0-0; 6. c4. Black can put the queen on d7 here but it usually comes to the kingside. It is one of the well-known lines of the big centre approach I mentioned previously and can also occur from the Nimzowitsch Defence. In this specific variation, white often ends up saccing the d pawn for a huge attack, which practice has shown will succeed more often than it fails.

We need more opening course like this levy. We love u❤

Within the last month, the Scandiavain has been my go-to for black, I absolutely adore it. Such a solid and fun opening, that in earnest, I only learned out of frustration after being annoyed with not knowing how to play against it myself. I used to to play the King's Indian a lot but I often felt too passive and the amount of variations and complexities that arise from it were too much of a headache for me to handle. If any of y'all are within the intermediate skill level - like myself - I highly recommend learning this opening! It's incredibly flexible, powerful, and it is niche enough that can prove quite tricky for white if they don't know what they are doing. This video was such a treat, thanks Levy!

After the release of this video it now has -100% win rate

Levy never fails to be held hostage

5. Bd2 Bg4 is simply met with f3, gaining a tempo on the LSB. If black plays the best retreating move, 6...Bd7 and mindlessly still plays e6 to carry out the same plan, after white plays the very natural 7.Bc4, then, 8. Nd5 forces black to either give the queen up for 2 minors, or save the queen with 8...Qa4 and allow the d5 knight to fork the king and rook. Black has to know to retreat the queen to b6 preemptively, burning another tempo, which white can use for development. Nge2 + Be3 gives white an extremely solid setup with better placed and more active pieces and the ability to castle earlier than black. Seems to me that Bd2 and f3 shuts the whole line down. Am I missing something?

I always get stuck with the Scandinavian, thank you for this tutorial!!!

I feel that you should avoid playing the scandinavian when under 1500. I am 1300 and my winrate against it is at 72% the highest against any other black response. I feel the real benefit about this is later on when most players below a certain range will simply loose track and screw something up....

I’m also loving the Scandinavian. It removes white’s ability to get a strong center and while arguably passive, it’s not weak because by not committing anything you don’t create obvious ideas for the opponent. At lower ELO’s the early Queen can be deadly if well managed too. Excited to see this variation!

Works every time and every position .

Let me make it 99,99%

This idea is remarkably similar to what I was experimenting, the whole bishop-queen battery thing

I like b4 sac the pawn and everything turns to traps and chaos...wish you covered that b4 gambit... really love all your videos 😊

Pathetic, how many unfunny comments do you vomit out in the hope of getting some incel likes?

If you win 100% of the time with that variation and 80% overall, perhaps it's time to become a GM?

Scandinavian is great. I love to play this Gotham setup, but I think it has a problem. The problem is that pawns aren't collaborating to the opening so much, and they can't move that much; Because usually their path is blocked by the other pieces, and we should remember pawns are the soul of the chess!

Love this opening - I don't even know it that well yet and already its winning for me (not every game obviously).

I prefer Na3 + Ng3 for maximum rook file opening power

3:31 so far this just looks like a london set up in a different order which is what I already play with black so I like this so far :)

Just a side note, you really should hype up the depth of the chessly samples, they are huge.

i love the moment "her nickname is flawless fighter so she starts fighting" another thing to say "what other opening often times gives you clean pawn adventage?" caro-kann that is also recommended by our dearest gotham. like good 70% of my wins as black in caro are because they played advance variation and i won central pawn. also for black four knights sicilian have a lot of traps where you win a pawn but this one i wouldn't recommend for people that aren't like at least 1800.

The more I read the comments here the more I think Levy should do more videos on the very Basics of Chess like avoiding Blunders capturing and taking a hanging piece etc I think Levy could be the one to actually help a lot of struggling beginning players get much better

Watched your video on the ponziani recently. I'm trying to learn, but they keep playing Nf6 or some other weird move. Maybe a video on SETS of openings to learn? I don't know if that makes sense. For example, I'm aware that you can go Nf3, then play either e4 or c4 based off their response. However, I don't know if these two moves have the same style.

You could set up that 100% win rate position. And then try to convert this into a win when the remaining opponent moves are done by Stockfish.

"I'm not a rocket scientist" I think if you applied yourself as much as you do with chess, you could be one. Great vid.

Rather than playing against people of a certain rating range like as if you were both similarly rated players, it would be much better if you could play against people of all rating ranges like an International Master that you are. Explaining how your thought process is in each move would be the best thing to do. This is solely my opinion as an 800 elo who started as a 100 elo 5 months ago and is still trying to improve

Thank you for this amazing vid! I actually always thought if someone captures the pawn with the queen, he doesn't know chess. Now that changed!

Useful stuff Levy Thanks! Back to the Legends? Rubinstein, Keres, Bronstein, Korchnoi maybe.

Hello! Amazing video. As always. I have put that opening into the test. 🙂I have played against the computer, 1500 rating. I am not near that level at all. Of course, the computer played Bg5 instead of Bc4. However, after playing pawn e6 and developing the Bb4, then the dark pieces can easily exploit the white pieces and have a better advantage. Great video and a very interesting opening. By the way, at the end, the analysis showed a 88.3 accuracy, with estimated level at 1650! Thank you Gotham! Keep up the good work and all the best to your GM journey.

"IM (I am) not a GM" is such a sick wordplay

Hello, I would like to politely request a video on the papa ticulat gambit, especially covering a couple "declined" lines. Thanks.

At what rating do you think I should start learning/memorizing openings

By the way, he says his favorite position is "most popular" so you'll face it most often... It does depend a lot on your level. For example, at the 1300 level, 1.e4 d5; 2.Nf3 is the "most popular" response.

i generally don't take queen out in the start - but will try doing these tricks to experiment - still not sure the moves are going to be beneficial

Great, i am playing the Scandinavian defence a lot pt, because your book recommended it.
