What to play against the Scandinavian Defense

What do u play against this?

And is there a way to stop the Scandinavian Defense?

Ah, the "Patzer" variation of the Scandinavian Defense.  4. Be2 is actually what I would play....followed by 5.Nf3 and 6. O-O to break the pin (if the pin is still maintained).  Don't get frightened by pins, they are often easily broken.  This isn't played at higher levels, as white develops a piece to protect the king, and then gains a tempo by attacking the queen once again. 

I'm with Sprite on this one. Just playing developing moves, and if some of your development happens to attack your opponent's queen, then that's better for you. :P When I used to play 1. e4, I never really worried about the Scandinavian. I just had an easy time improvising my way to a playable middle game against it, as opposed to some opening responses like the Sicilian that made me really work.

Or you can avoid the Scandinavian altogether and transpose to the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit: 1. e4 d5 2. d4 dxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. f3. That gambit usually starts with 1. d4 d5 2. e4, but this is a common way to transpose into it.

Qe2 and Be2 are both good. If after Be2, he plays Bg4, follow up with d5. After Bxe2 Ngxe2 white has initiative. If Qxe2 (when blocking with queen) then Bxe2 and white has better initiative.

Try f3!

U shouldn't stop but encourage your opponent to play Scandinavian since it's advantageous for white.

As someone who wrote a book on the Scandinavian and who has had great success playing the Scandinavian [played against masters and higher] --i am here to tell you that the Scandinavian is NOT a good way to counter 1. e4.

Please provide us a reference to your book!

The book was "Center Counter Uprising". But it came out about 1990 and is out of date. Still on Amazon i think. 

Try f3

Yeah, still on Amazon and very expensive. It has probably become a rarety.

hehe!

I'm a Scandi player!  I play the Qa5 mainline and one thing you could do is delay the move Nc3 (attacking the queen) and instead play Nf3 d4 c4!  This confuses a lot of Scandi players and you end up in a different type of game.  I believe its called the Portuguese variation.  I don't like it when white does this.. not at all.  So maybe that's a good option for you?

There is also a variation that Vishy Anand played and it had an early Ne5 followed by g4, attacking the bishop on f5.  Black has to be very accurate otherwise you get steamrolled.  Like here is an example of things going very wrong for black.

TRY F3 FOLKS!

This is ambiguous. At what move??

After 1.d5
