Scandinavian for Black

Variation: Marshall Gambit


1. E4 d5 2. Exd5 Nf6

Main idea for Black: sacrifice pawn for extra development, and attack quickly. The point of Nf6 is to
possibly recapture the pawn with the Knight, so the Queen doesn’t get chased around.

There are 3 main ways that White can respond: c4 (play c6), Bb5+ (play Bd7) or d4 (play Bg4).
