Roman's Lab 68: The 3...Qd6 Scandinavian Opening for Black

On this video GM Roman, together with GM Eugene Perelshteyn & Rybka, have re-invented the 3...Qd6 Scandinavian. This opening is the best unexplored and underestimated weapon available for Black ever. What makes this opening so inviting is simple: there is not much to learn, it offers easy equality, it can't be refuted, it is rich with tactics and counter play, it is full of hidden traps, and it has been played with success against World Champion Anand - who even prepared before playing against it and still could only manage a draw. To sum it up, the 3...Qd6 Scandinavian is cheating at chess, because with a little amount of preparation you will get a high return. It's an opening you can't wait to start playing, but you hope no one else finds out about it!
