Kurzbeschreibung
In recent years the Scandinavian has been catapulted into the limelight, and it has now firmly established itself as an opening to be reckoned with. Why has it become popular? Because it's easy to play - in the majority of lines Black relies upon the same system of development. Also there's still relatively little theory when compared to mainline defences to 1 e4. One further attraction is that it can lead to both tactical and positional play - there is something to suit all styles of player. Opening expert Jovanka Houska has successfully played both sides of the Scandinavian, and in this book she reveals everything you need to know, whether you are playing it as Black or facing it with White. "The Everyman Chess Starting Out" series has firmly established itself as the leading guide to studying openings for up-and-coming players. These books are distinguished by their easy-to-read layout, the lucid explanations of the fundamentals, and the abundance of notes, tips and warnings to help the reader absorb vital ideas. "Starting Out" opening books are ideal for enthusiastic chess players who have little experience of the openings in question and who wish to appreciate the essential principles behind them. This book features a user-friendly design to assist readers. It concentrates on the fundamental principles of the openings. It is ideal for improvers, club players, and tournament players.

I was quite surprised, reading this book, to find in it a complete course on the well-known center-counter opening. The scandinavian is not that easy. Your opponent, from the beginning can take advantage of the Queen emerging on the center of the board and can gain a tempo. But that's only if you play 2. Qxd5 ... and only if your opponent is well prepared. Jovanka Houska analyses quite strongly the other variations like 2. Nf6, white denying taking the pawn on d5 or the obscure and tricky portuguese variation. The book is very complete, and accentuates the difficulties for the black player to build a strong play. Hence, you won't find here a book that claims this opening as the only one, for the transpositions to other openings are also pointed out. Moreover, identifying the problems first, describing a lot of black defeats by analysing their origins, Jovanka Houska tends to give a very positive view of that opening which is more and more played at a high level. Last, learning such an opening, getting in the center first and developing your pieces as quick as possible can only guide you to think a position another way, what Jovanka Houska succeeds in along basic principles tricks and alerts to the scandinavian player.

Complete and instructional
31. Oktober 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is written by Jovanka Houska, a young woman who plays the opening. She primarily covers the ...Qxd5 and ...Nf6 (without ...Qxd5) variations. The bulk of the book is on ...Qxd5. Throughout the book are tips, notes and points of danger. She makes a convincing argument.
The Scandinavian, also known as the Center-Counter, was my "first" defense that I used to win my first few tournaments. It has been useful in games against Master class opponents.
While an introduction, the book seems geared to players who know more than just the moves and can understand basic combinations and positional concepts. However, this book can offer fresh ideas to those at least through Expert class.
The book is formatted to be heavy on explanation, illustrated by games. The idea is to introduce the ideas in a way the average player can understand. She details and explains how the player of the dark side can get in trouble very quickly, and how the light side can go very wrong. The best part is that there does not seem to be a way for White to win without serious mistakes by Black. In some sense this book is truly for "dark siders" because it will muddle the mind of the first player, confuse them, and blind side them with a very solid opening.
The book is filled with interesting ideas born out of Houska's personal experience and research. One interesting idea is on the "Scandinavian Bishop" (...Bf5) and the resulting fight for the light squares. My preference is for Ian Rogers' ...Bg4 set up but Houska's instructions are so clear and precise I just might have to give it try.
It's time for you to join the dark side and stack up easy wins!

Very Good Coverage
5. März 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
A fine job on all major lines of the Scandinavian. The reviewer who commented that this really should not be a "Starting Out" book is correct - The coverage is too deep for beginners. But lines are explained and concepts discussed very well, from both sides. Very useful whether you play the white or black side of the Scandinavian.

Great book
8. Dezember 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is probably one of my favorite chess books. Extremely easy to study along with and covers the main 3..Qa5, 2...Nf6, and 3...Qd6 lines as well as a few others. I personally like to play the ...Nf6 defense and have won many games with it. Highly recommended !
