My recommendation is to not play Scandy.
Long Term I believe it isn’t good.

Grand Masters have said the Scandy is a Dubious opening.
I use to wholeheartedly agree.
I never felt the need to question their vast wisdom.
However, The Scandy opening remains a highly heated topic on these chess forum.
Chess.com is filled with Scandy die hards trying to defend their Scandy lines to bitter end.
- Arguments have been made
- Analysis has been done
Based on my own research, It seems not all the Scandy variations are dubious.
Some Scandy lines seem to be doing poorly.
Other Scandy lines seem to be doing okay.
Personally, I don’t play the critical Scandy lines so against me the Scandy is playable.
I have high win rate against the Scandy.
Previously, I figured my high win rate was due to Scandy being trash.
Recently, I concluded my high win rate is due to Scandy players being unprepared. They are probably just not familiar with the line I play.
Nevertheless, I don’t recommend the Scandy to players.
I don’t recommend it for a lot of reason.
- Beginner have bad habit of moving their Queen a lot and recommending the Scandy to beginners just reinforces the bad behavior which you ideally don’t want them to do
- Intermediate players are not a good recommendation either because the Scandy isn’t very forceful. White often is in the driver seat when playing the Scandy. White often has more flexibility on what line they want to play against it.
- Advance players also have to study theory of Scandy so they don’t get into bad position which makes the line very high maintenance.
I think the Scandy has to many negative things which makes it unfavorable.
- Reinforces bad habits
- Is more reactive vs. proactive
- Requires a depth of knowledge so you don’t get completely blown off board
- The last issue is the Scandy is a mediocre defensive opening which is sad because their are other defense lines far more better vs. Scandy.
To me, I simply chess into 2 categories.
Attacking or Defending
Lines which excel at Attacking or excel at Defending are generally very strong lines.
Lines which don’t excel in either often get left behind and that’s what I think about the Scandy.
