Hi, ive been trying to find out information on this version of the Scandinavian Defense. I would like to know how effective it is and whether it would be worth studying. Also, any personal experience would be great. Thanks very much.

the line u showed is not main line scadinavian
main line runs something along 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 4.d4 Nf6 and so on...
as for worthy of studying... well... you dont really need any studying at all - in fact, the scadinavian has been known as the Lazy openings at some stage.
It is definately sound, but gets boring after a while.

The scandinavian is a good opening. The trappy variation you're using for black will lead to a lot of lost games however. Look at this.
