I need some help determining the most aggressive/best setup against Black's Qa5, ..c6 scandinavian. Thanks!

I really don't know what is the point of the walking of the queen in this opening

this opening is to wreck white's e4 center and give white a hard time protecting their d4 pawn if it is pushed up.

The line you chose seems quite adequate. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a forced win for White after 1...d4!


I don't understand. Is there a typo?

Probably means 1...d5

Wow!  what a beautifully crafted game.  You really have become a fine chess player in a short amount of time.

As far as I can see, you succeeded in piling up a great developmental advantage, so I don't really see what's wrong with your setup, that is, IF Black plays as passively as in this game. The real question is, (in my opinion,) how can Black improve his activity in the 4... c6 line?

Maybe look into the 3.Nf3 lines.  Less forcing without an early Nc3, so black gets his share of the play too, but the games can definitely take on a more aggressive air.
