It's called The Centre Counter a Scandinavian is someone
who comes from Scandovia.

2.d4 and go for a Blackmar Gambit.

2.a3 and go the Englund Trap in reverse.
It's what RHP hacker and hero Dicey Relly does.
Game 8011016 is Dicey spinging it as Black.

If you are have 0 from 4 in weekend tournament and just want to
go home and burn all your chess books then....

The Centre Counter (or Center Counter) is also called the Scandinavian Defense (or Scandinavian Defence).

The Englund Gambit played by Dicey Relly is a different opening from the Queen Pawn's group of openings.

You are an idiot. Get back in your hole before I alert the sun that you are outside.

Don't forget that this idiot has won $4500 playing chess.

The commentator on the video was concerned about white's bishop and queen being reversed, but this can be corrected as shown below:

Hi RJ.

You should have said it was an Andrew Martin vid. These things are always good.

I have the book on this opening by Andrew MArtin he calls the book.
The Centre Counter

If these Scandinavian Scandinavians want an opening named after themselves
they will have to look elsewhere on the Chessboard. 1.e4 d5 has been taken.

And whose is claiming this opening for the Scandinavians?
It was played 100 of years before Scandinavia became Scandinavia.
It's some publishing trick to con money out the poor Scandinavians.

If this lot want an opening named after their country, place, island or whatever
Scandinavia is (where is Scandinavia?) then they will have to rename the place
Centre Counter Land.

Martin is looking at Black playing 5..Bf5 before...e6.
