After Qxd5 you play Qf3!.Offering Queen exchange and after the exchange you play b3.just like the Nimzo Larsen variation and if black avoided the exchange with 4.Qa5 then White simply play Qc3 and repeat if black doesn't exchange.

It doesn't sound good. As a scandi player i wouldn't mind facing Qf3. I doubt that many players would exchange. Most would develop simply with Nf6. If then Qxd5 and Nxd5 it looks like white can continue developping with tempo with Bc5 but after Nb6 the position is very equalt and easy to play for black. It's very unlikely they'd play Qa5 once you play Qf3

It's good because its a straightforward move like you post and white play h3,bc4 and ne2 or maybe d3.its kinda good for me because it suits my play style lazy.going straight to the endgame.

The only thing that matters is that it suits you

Except that the queen exchange weakens the kingside by creating double pawns, blocks the king's knight from making its natural developing move AND it makes kingside castling virtually impossible. 3.Nc3 drives off the queen and develops at the same time. 3.Qf3 does nothing but remove the queens and give white weaknesses.

I agree with you that Qf3 is shady but I don't think that the point is to double up pawns but rather Nxf3

Nice trap happy.png but risky because it only works if black plays h6

Qf3 pretty much gives away the free advantage the scandi gives white

like i said.For lazy player because nc3 black can play Qa5,Qd6,and so on.Qf3 force queen trades.

testaaaaa

no man in the qd8 scandi black goes back no matter what the only thing what you did is taking away the juicy f3 square from yur g1 knight
