This book is dedicated to the traditional variant of the Scandinavian Defense (1.e4 d5 3.Nc3 Qa5 2.exd5 Qxd5) and early departures by White.

Because it violates one of the principles of openness that are taught to beginners (no lady should be removed too soon!), The Scandinavian Defense rarely indifferent. Some think it may not be entirely correct, while others believe it is a very playable opening.

Here are some of the reasons for adopting the Scandinavian Defense:

     The pieces of the two players have to be in touch very soon, and this opening to players who prefer melee slow maneuvers fits nicely.
     The typical central pawn structure is one of the most common in chess: it is both the Caro-Kann as numerous queen's pawn openings; accumulated experience in the Scandinavian be very useful in different contexts.
     The Scandinavian analyzed is less than many other openings, their study allows building a repertoire against 1.e4 quickly.
     There is a very good book that allows a detailed study of this opening: this you have in your hands!

In addition to his own experience with the Scandinavian, the author relied on the analysis of the best specialists in the world, as the great French master Eric Prie. He corrected if necessary and enriched with many original ideas. Thanks to the quality and objectivity of their work, the book will not only benefit those who play or want to play, the Scandinavian, but also to all those players who want to prepare 1.e4 in a serious way against this opening.
