The Scandinavian Defence (1 e4 d5 2 exd5 Qxd5) is hugely popular at club level, because Black dictates the opening struggle from move one. In this instructive video, IM Andrew Martin takes the viewer through all of the basic themes required to play the opening with confidence - and success. Particular attention is devoted to key strategies for Black, and major sections end with an easy-to-understand summary.
