i wonder what's the name of the variation in the scandinavian defence where black play Nc6 instead of the tipically c6 and then Bg4 follow by 0-0-0 and e5 puting fast and high presure in white center?, i just playing a game using this plan but i dont know any about this variation


i would like to know if there are books about it if its really good or are refuted or something

Hey, it's been a while since you published your question. I couldn't find any literature on it and I am interested too. Did you find anything?

It might be worth looking in books on 1.e4 Nc6 because you can obtain the same opening by transposition: 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 Qxd5

Ah! And you can look for material about the "Jadoul Gambit" or the "Portuguese variation of the center counter" [1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Nf6 3.d4 Bg4]. There is an old book on it by NM Z. Anderson.

In "The Modern Scandinavian" [Müller & Langrock], read chapter 15: "The Viking Centre".

Here the intro to that chapter:

"The Viking centre is characterized by the black set-up . . . Nc6 , . . . Bg4 and . . . 0 - 0 - 0 .
The c-pawn i s left o n its starting square. Just like the Vikings i n their day, Black gets
down to business and goes after his opponent at once. White 's centre is immedi­ately put under pressure and you have to know your way around the sharp varia­tions , because despite the advantage of the first move, a crushing defeat could be around the corner.
However, it is worth noting that Black cannot favourably employ this set-up against all white move orders. It is generally very playable if White holds back with Nc3 ."

Ese esquema es jugable, pero yo lo preferiría con 1...Cc6, que molesta más a las blancas debido a la presión sobre d4 en muchas líneas. Sin embargo, tendrás que enfrentarte a otras variantes como 1.e4 Cc6 2. d4 d5 3. e5
