Scandinavian is quite popular nowadays. It’s played by such players as Hikaru Nakamura, Magnus Carlsen, Alexander Grischuk & Jan-Krzysztof Duda. Of course, almost all top players play this opening from time to time, especially in blitz games.
Why do people play Scandinavian Defense? Well, of course, the short answer is because black player wants to overtake the initiative. However, if white plays properly, he can get opening advantage. The other to play it for black is that there are not much opening theory and many people just don’t know how to play for white.

What to expect from the webinar?
I’m going to conduct this webinar as a group and interactive chess lesson. I prepared questions and exercises for you and I want you to suggest the moves, plans and share your ideas on the webinar.
Why group lessons are important?
I’m studying and teaching chess for many years and I’m absolutely sure that the key to success in chess depends on proper training methods. That’s why I have no doubts that a training program for almost any student should consist of:
- Individual lessons (where the coach tries to explain and correct mistakes that the student makes)
- Puzzles solving (can be part of the lesson or a homework)
- Group lessons (where students may learn openings and typical plans that can be applied in certain types of positions. Group lessons also help to analyze common mistakes that many students make. And of course, group lessons increase competition between students and stimulate them to get ahead of each other!)
- Tournament games (why not online games? Because, only tournament games keep you concentrated from the beginning to the very end of the game. This is where you can improve)
See you on the webinar!
