1. e4 d5

Part of my series of annotations explaining the Scandinavian Defence, 1.e4 d5 |
 
|
| |
|
|
2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qa5 4. d4 Nf6
|
So far main line |
|
| |
|
|
5. Bd2
|
This is an interesting move for white. I like it |
|
| |
|
|
5... Bg4
|
This can serve 2 purposes. 1) Looking to transpose into something like the main line, or 2) tempting white to weaken the area around the king |
|
| |
|
|
6. Be2 Bxe2 7. Qxe2 Nc6 8. Nf3 e6
|
There is also 8.. O-O-O |
|
| |
|
|
9. O-O Qh5
|
There are several moves here including 9.. Bd6 and 9.. Qf5 |
|
| |
|

10. h3
|
I liked this move very much, although 10. Ne4 is more common. Black needs to watch closely his move order now. Here is a game using 10. Ne4. The game was played in 1908 !!
[White "Perlis, Julius"]
[Black "Mieses, Jacques"]
[Result "1-0"]

10... O-O-O 11. Be3 a6
|
Prophylactic. Black does not want the white knight moving to b5 |
|
| |
|
|
12. a3 Bd6 13. Qe1
|
A mistake. Better was 13. b4 counterattacking, or bringing one of the rooks into the centre |
|
| |
|
|
13... g5
|
Now black is not concerned the f3 knight will move away allowing the queens to be exchanged |
|
| |
|
|
14. b4
|
Correct idea, but black's attack is more advanced |
|
| |
|
|
14... g4
|
This is a good position to study for attacking practice. Black has many pieces that he can point at white's king, but he must have a clear plan. |
|
| |
|
|
15. hxg4 Qxg4 16. Ne2
|
Black will double on the open file, so white must prevent mate on g2 |
|
| |
|
|
16... Rdg8
|
Important to move the d-file rook. The other rook will be needed on h8 to support the h pawn, as black drives the white knight away |
|
| |
|
|
17. Ng3 h5 18. Nh2 Qg7
|
And white resigns due to the threat of ..h4 |
