I found myself thinking: ‘I got my pawn again’. Simple advise for white: keep an eye on your b and c pawn.

I play the …Qa5 scandi at around 1500 elo and very often white gives away a pawn. I think because white focuses on guarding their d pawn and catching my queen.

The loss of the c or b pawn is often not the end of the world (I still loose a lot of Scandi games) but it does give black an edge that often is avoidable.
