No need to fear the Qd6 Scandinavian

Until recently, the Scandinavian Defense with 3...Qd6 was a rare guest in tournament practice. In fact, the first game you will find in the MegaBase dates back to the not too distant year of 1968. But recently, thanks to the efforts of strong players such as Kurajica, Milanovic, Hasangatin, Panbukchian and above all Sergei Tiviakov, the 3...Qd6 Scandinavian has come into fashion and has become a tough nut to crack for the player who is making the first move. In this 60-minute product, Bulgarian GM Dejan Bojkov presents a complete repertoire for White after the moves 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd6 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3, covering all the main moves: 5...Bg4; 5...g6; 5...a6 and Tiviakov's speciality 5...c6.
