Modern Chess Repertoire with the Scandinavian Defense

The Safest Scandinavian Reloaded by GM Vassilios Kotronias is the completely revised edition of his successful repertoire book on the Scandinavian Defense with 3...Qd6. The book provides Black with a solid yet active repertoire against 1.e4, combining up-to-date theory with a deep understanding of the resulting positions.

The main line arises after:

1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd6

The retreat of the queen to d6 is considered a particularly safe and flexible approach in the Scandinavian Defense. Black develops harmoniously, puts pressure on the center and retains active opportunities on both the kingside and queenside.
