One of the primary advantages of the Scandinavian Defence is its ability to guarantee Black a desired structure, making it an attractive choice for players seeking a more aggressive game. The absence of "Anti-Scandinavians" further reinforces its appeal, as it eliminates the need to study complex counter-measures.

Nevertheless, modern players have reevaluated the Scandinavian Defence, and it is now regarded as a formidable opening that can be employed as a main defence.

The great Danish player Bent Larsen played a significant role in revolutionizing the Scandinavian Defence, boldly claiming that it is an improved Caro-Kann.

This modern approach has elevated the opening to new heights, making it a favourite among strong grandmasters.

This comprehensive guide provides an in-depth analysis of the Scandinavian Defence, covering both traditional and modern approaches. Renowned chess expert Garry Kasparov shares his insightful recommendations, presented with wit and clarity. Through this book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the Scandinavian Defence, uncovering its tactical secrets and hidden nuances.
