I don't know if there's a name for this opening or not, but you can push the pawn to refuse the scandinavian.

Scandinavian: Rubbish second moves by white.

Why try to win using the element of surprise? Play good moves. Diversion tactics work too. Wear a diamond necklace or a necklace of chicken hearts.

Tomorrow i play a very critical club game against a newcoming talent. My sourses tell me that he plays the scandinavian defense. Can you suggest me a way to surprise my opponent?

I doubt that he plays it deep look at the videos on the scandinavian and use chess mentor. I think you will surprise him by knowing it deeper than him.

I was playing tournament in the club my opponent was always playing the dragon all the time. So I studied the dragon in chess mentor he wasn't prepared for the line suggested by chess mentor - I won.

Surprising ones opponent might be a poor goal to have since if your

opponent is surprised it is likely to induce them to start thinking.

Put some limburger cheese in your pockets. The odor coming off you will be a surprise to him! Surprised

I suppose the opponent would resign after sniffing it.

I hate playing against the Scandinavan -- I keep the Bird's opening in my back pocket for those players. No one really ever studies the Bird.

I know a player that actually studies the Bird.

As Black? I know a few players that study it as white for part of their reprotore (myself included) but I have never met anyone who really prepared more than 1 or two lines as black - and even those lines where not very deep.

You can try to turn it into a kings gambit. That might be a bit different.
