What do u play against this?
And is there a way to stop the Scandinavian Defense?
Ah, the "Patzer" variation of the Scandinavian Defense. 4. Be2 is actually what I would play....followed by 5.Nf3 and 6. O-O to break the pin (if the pin is still maintained). Don't get frightened by pins, they are often easily broken. This isn't played at higher levels, as white develops a piece to protect the king, and then gains a tempo by attacking the queen once again.
I'm with Sprite on this one. Just playing developing moves, and if some of your development happens to attack your opponent's queen, then that's better for you. :P When I used to play 1. e4, I never really worried about the Scandinavian. I just had an easy time improvising my way to a playable middle game against it, as opposed to some opening responses like the Sicilian that made me really work.
Or you can avoid the Scandinavian altogether and transpose to the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit: 1. e4 d5 2. d4 dxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. f3. That gambit usually starts with 1. d4 d5 2. e4, but this is a common way to transpose into it.
