Lord - checked out your games against the scandy. you have only played about 8 which is nothing.

 

against 2. --- Nf6 which I like you have a 50% score. Hardly an "easy win".

Against 2. --- Qa5 you are 3-1 which is 75%. okay, but if one game had gone the other way , you would also be 50%. 

Against 2. ---- c6 which is a bullshit move for black as it gives away a second pawn for NOTHING, you have 100%. but again, that is the bullshit line. You are not doing as well against the Scandy as you think my friend. 

u fkn wot m8

play the scandi against me then ill show u who da boss

Carlsen actually used to play it quite a bit. He defeated Anand, Caruana and Nepomniachtchi with it, using 3.Qd8 and 3.Qd6.

Btw. if World Champion is playing Scandi and beating such a legends with it, you can't say it is a miserable defense.

Man, we all due respect, you are a 1500 blitz player. I challenge you to play against me, I will play the scandinavian, and let's see what happens

Many top level player use the Scandinavian as an occasional weapon, but not many play it all the time
