An unusual line in Caro-Kann and Scandinavian
Here is an unusual line I have frequently played in both the Caro-Kann and the Scandinavian defense. It arises on 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd6 4.d4 c6 or 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 Qxd5!? 4.Nc3 Qd6. It goes by several names, some associated with me because I have favored it for almost 30 years. I have published many articles on it, but here is one particularly attractive game.
