It’s a mistake, you can transpose into a tempo up caro kann/french with developed bishop. Easiest way to play by far is to push c5, develop your queen’s bishop and play e6 to solidify your d5 pawn. If they ever play d4, take with your c pawn. They will be forced to recapture with the queen and you can win a tempo on her with Nc6
oh you hate that too? huh?
i've tried both the ...Bf5 line recommended by a lousy old 90s book that refused to give theory other than a couple lines and say "no problem for black" when a pawn on e5 (even as white, because it's in my way!) is intolerable. I want to play Nf6!!!!! I don't want to have to wiggle around pawns!
O.K. I removed them from my trainer because I want to STOP playing the scandinavian myself, but I have a book (I don't know how complete it is) for the 2...c5 sicilian advance variation you can study, but it's a move order pain to try and learn.
i'll upload the theory and share it here.
1.e4 d5 2.e5 Scandinavian Advance Theory
I broke the theory up into 6 lines I just put in 1 folder for sharing
1.e4 d5 2.e5 c5
3.f4 Nc6 4.Nf3 Bg4 - line 1
3.d4
_____3...Bg4 4.Be2 - line 2
_____3...cxd4 4.Qxd4 Nc6 is another possibility
3.Nf3 Be2 (3...Bg4 is another possibility)
_____4.h3 - line 3a
_____4.Bb5+ - line 3b
_____4.c3 - line 4a
_____4.d4 - line 4b
3.c3 Nc6
_____4.d4 Qb6 5.Nf3 cxd4 6.cxd4 Bg4 - line 5a
_____4.Nf3 Bg4 - line 5b
_____4.Bb5 Qb6!? 5.Bxc6+ Qxc6 - line 6a
_____4.f4 Bf5 - line 6b
what should black do if white just pushes e4 pawn forward instead of taking in Scandinavian defense
