First I'm hearing of it. I thought 3.Nc3 was a novelty introduced by Kasparov in 1991.

Of course, the old main line was 3. Ke2 Bongcloud style.

There are general rules in chess such as do not move your queen early in the opening.  There are also exceptions to every rule and 1. e4  d5 

2. exd5  Qxd5 is one of them.  This opening is perfectly ok until and unless someone refutes it--but I have not seen a "refutation" yet that is a real refutation and not based on bad moves by Black.

Since you can't refute good moves, only bad moves by Black can be refuted. Fortunately, he's already played two of them and will probably play more ;)

We're all joking here, right? I mean, we all know that thr Scandanavian Defense (or Center-counter) is a very old, well established opening and that 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 has been established theory for over a century

I refer you to my earlier post (#12)...

Using almost any opening you can say White is  slightly better in the opening.
