Magnus Carlsen & Scandinavian opening

Sort:
TuckerTommy
Magnus Carlsen has been playing this center counter defense quite a bit lately. As a matter of fact, he commented that when white refuses taking d5, it’s a big mistake on his opponent’s part. Your thoughts on this choice of opening and Carlsen’s comment?

It has long been established that after 1.e4 d5 White doesn't have much choice but to take on d5.
