I commonly deal with scandinavian as white. Is there anyway to combat this?

Then you dont know how to play the Scandinavian.

Someone should link him the free Chessable course John Bartholomew did on the Scandi to help him at least get some idea on how to play it ...

Pls send that link, JB is the one who inspired me to take the scandi seriously.

I was hoping someone else would do it so I didn't have to dig through my archive happy.png

The paid course can be found here:  https://www.chessable.com/im-john-bartholomews-scandinavian-defense/course/79/

He greatly expanded the ideas there.  The free course that gives you a good introduction to the opening can be found here:  https://www.chessable.com/im-john-bartholomews-scandinavian-free-version/course/104/

There are also a few anti-scandi courses on Chessable that are very good.

Sometimes I accidentally play this opening by pre-moving my first move as black.

I have a problem with impatience.
