In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov talks about the 7 best chess opening traps in the Scandinavian Defense. A lot of you have requested us to do a video on this, and so here it comes!
The Scandinavian Defense follows the opening moves 1.e4 d5, which is a very common choice of opening for those below a 2000 rating. A lot of chess players like to play this opening because it’s a bit tricky. In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will be sharing with you the traps that you can use either for White or for Black and, therefore, you can use them regardless of the color you are playing.

From my opinion this guy has a lot of good lines I’ve gorltten most of my tragedy from his instructions
4:38..knight c7 would be a check mate..??
In trap number one, at the end, doesn’t white also threaten mate with Nc7, if black does something stupid ?
Today i am having a tournament with gm/im and just trying to learn some traps

Je ne parle pas très bien anglais. Je suis français. Est ce que vous avez des Master Class en français ?
24 mn 11 s : au lieu de pion d5, pion b4. Les Noirs ne peuvent plus mettre le Cavalier en C5
I don't know if I can remember all the traps. But it helps to see how to think.
I don't see the Scandinavian much, but I do appreciate your insight.
Hikaru I think would play Rb7 bringing another piece i to the attack pinning the bishop.
Very informative
Very helpful
How did knight to c7 win the game at 7:11 if there are ways for the king to still move out of its way.

Thanks, Igor. I find your lessons really clear and well presented.
Thanks Igor for sharing great traps. for some reason, can not download the PGN of these traps from the blog-post URL link
Just curious but why remote chess academy and not just the chess academy. Obviously I assume your base is in a remote location,????
As you stated so eloquently, chess is a beautiful game, also very humbling to say the least. haha
May Jesus bless us all. Amen.
you are one of the best at teaching , explaining difficult aspects in a clear view.
Thanks.
At 25.16 why not take knight with bishop D3
