Scandinavian Defense
In the Scandinavian defense, black tries immediately to break white’s control over center. With the pawn exchange, an open game is established right off the bat.
After the pawn exchange, black usually takes back with the queen. This violates one of the commonly accepted opening principles to develop the queen last.
Bringing the queen out so early is usually not recommended. With so little development, the queen is vulnerable all on her own. White can gain several tempo by attacking the queen. This way black has to constantly respond by retreating instead of developing themselves.
After the queen has been attacked by the knight, she has to make a decision: stay outside and move to a5, or retreat back home and move to d8.

Compact Scandinavian For White
24 por LoeksnokesIn this study I give a compact repertoire against all main line Scandinavian responses, and common inferior plays. The repertoire is based on miniature games at the 2300+ level, together with some Stockfish modifications when White actually played inferior lines. Every line ends with at least +/=, and almost all of them are actually in +/- or +- territory. Coverage is (very) thin for less common lines in modern play. There are thematic attacking setups by White which seem a bit strange for people trained with classical opening theory, but they are played at the highest levels and are stockfish certified. Learning these "active piece play" type justifications has greatly helped my middlegame play.
