Also i'm not analyzing it because ComputeryMcComputerFace will say every move that I did is terrible, but you can go ahead and do it if you'd like.
PROOF SCANDINAVIAN ISN'T A TERRIBLE OPENING AND IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY OVERPOWERED
Sort:
haters gonna hate
i mean, SCAMMMMMMMinavian is somewhat rare, so i can see why some people haven't studied it extensively
makes sense
lol scandi is op in bullet, nobody can argue about that.
exactly. the faster the time control, the better

lol I'm like 1400 USCF, and I beat a few 1600s who played scandi -- scandi is great for online, but not too good for otb apparently...

So here's a 5|3 blitz game of me vs. a 2050, I played the Scandinavian. My opponent played passively and I got a good opposite-side castling position and a nice checkmate. All you haters who dislike the Scandinavian and say its a bad opening? You're right. But you can easily capitalize off of your opponent's mistakes and get some nice wins, which makes up for that. And if your opponent knows how to defend against this opening, you'll probably get a draw with best play anyways.
lol

hmm, perhaps you dont realize how passive white played in the beginning? scandi is good against people who dont know how to play against it, like most gambits, (not saying scandi is a gambit). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py51XGnSnvs Gotta say, scandi kind of took an L here.

The Scandinavian isn't terrible. It's just an inferior version of the Caro-Kann. If White played passively against THAT opening, he would get a bad game, too.
