The Complete 2…Nf6 Scandinavian PGN Only by CM Vjekoslav Nemec Apr 11, 2025

This Win–Win Scandinavian Lets You Play
Open, Aggressive Chess — Without
Memorizing a Novel

You hijack their homework on move one. Then you gambit a pawn on move two. If they hang onto it? You expose their king in the center. If they decline? Your pieces slide to their best squares with ease. Either way, you’re in control — unburdened by heavy theory in The Complete 2…Nf6 Scandinavian!

Here’s the plan:

After 1.e4, you burn much of White’s prep with 1…d5.

Then after 2.exd5, you take them further off-script with 2…Nf6. This way, you can recapture with the knight, while dodging the Nc3-shot on your queen.

After 1.e4, only 1.3% of games reach
this position. Most of your opponents
won’t even bother preparing.

“Wait, doesn’t that lose a pawn?”

Yes, and that’s exactly what you want to see, 3.c4 c6 4.dxc6.

Because when they hang onto the pawn, the center falls into your lap. Your pieces develop with tempo, while the enemy king stays stuck in the center. You enjoy the perfect recipe for an attack!

Over 2.6 million games have accepted the
gambit and many more will! Here’s the
type of play you’re getting.

Not even a queen exchange spares them from the pressure.

White has exchanged queens but failed to
relieve the pressure! That corner rook is
just about ready to fall

Did White ignore your gambit with 3.Nf3?

Then you grab the pawn back with the knight, just as planned. Now in a forward position, you pair it with the bishop to cook White’s queenside!

From g8, your knight has arrived on b4…
hammering the queenside and combining
with the rest of your army

Whether White accepts or declines, the 2…Nf6 Scandinavian can be a win–win for you…

And Candidate Master Vjekoslav Nemec proves it in just 175 lines of theory.

Nemec carved his way up to 2270 FIDE with a sharp, tactical style. Online, he’s given higher-rated players a serious run for their money, including 3-time World Championship candidate Peter Svidler.
