Lectures: 11
Total Running Time: 13 hours 29 minutes


The Scandinavian: possibly the cheekiest of all responses to 1.e4. And one of the trickiest to deal with…

Bringing the queen out on move 2? Hiding behind a solid pawn structure and going for cute little attacks?

It Must Be Butchered!

With Butcher the Scandinavian, you’re going to have Black rethinking their opening choices quickly. That’s because International Master Miodrag Perunovic brings powerful novelties for a variety of playing styles and skill levels.

His recommendations are based on the trendy Triangle system against Black’s 3…Qa5 main line. After 4. Bc4 Nf6 5. d3 you’ll get a simple setup that looks innocent enough…

But IM Perunovic shows you how to take that simple setup and exert unrelenting pressure on Black - to the point that their cramped pieces will have nowhere to run! These lines go for the throat - and frequently land a checkmate before move 20!

But the fun doesn’t end with the main lines. This is a complete repertoire against the Scandinavian, and you’ll have all your bases covered after 1.e4 d5. Here’s what you’ll get inside:

? Cutting-edge solutions to all the major variations of the Scandinavian - 3…Qd8, 3…Qd6 and more - all playable from beginner to master level

? Safe, reliable, yet aggressive ways to handle sidelines. Take the knife to the Blackburne-Kloosterboer Gambit (2…c6), Modern Scandinavian (2…Nf6) and other annoying pet lines

? Alternative variations to fit playing styles. Don’t want to go for the throat in every line? IM Perunovic has prepared plenty of more solid, positional lines as alternatives to the full-force butcher lines

? Model games and exercises to make what you learn stick. Keep your tactics sharp and learn the main strategic plans in all the major variations so you can mark every score sheet with 1-0 in the Scandi
