The Scandinavian (also known as the Centre Counter Defence) occurs
when Black meets White's 1 e4 with 1 ... d5, immediately countering
in the centre. White invariably continues with 2 exd5 when Black
can choose between two systems, both of which are covered in this
book. Firstly 2 ... Qxd5, which regains the pawn immediately but
exposes the black queen early on - a feature that complicates the
play for both players. Secondly 2 ... Nf6, which invites White to
risk attempting to hold onto the d5-pawn. If White goes down this
path then a complex tactical struggle can easily develop. -----
First Steps is a new opening series and is ideal for improving
players who want simple and straightforward explanations. First
Steps emphasizes: ----- the basic principles --- the basic
strategies --- the key tricks and traps ----- First Steps books are
based around carefully selected instructive games which demonstrate
exactly what both sides are trying to achieve. There is enough
theory to enable the improving player to get to grips with the
opening without feeling overwhelmed. If you want to take up a new
opening, First Steps is the ideal place to start.
