White avoids 2.exd5
Some players dodge the Scandinavian with 2.e5, 2.Nc3, 2.d3 or 2.Nf3. None of these is dangerous; you just need one sound plan against each.

Picking up where you left off.
Five lines, two of them core:
- 2.e5 Bf5 3.d4 e6 4.Nf3 c5 (core)
- 2.e5 Bf5 3.d4 e6 4.Bd3: trade bishops (deeper)
- 2.Nc3 d4: grab space (core)
- 2.d3: trade queens (important)
- 2.Nf3 dxe4 3.Ng5: the Tennison Gambit (deeper)
Learn takes up to five new lines at a time, core lines first. When the chapter is learned, practise it from memory.
Lesson complete
Nice work.
