| Jun 12, 2020 at 17:06 | comment | added | Scounged | While the early queen excursion to d5 in the Scandinavian defies the basic opening principles by bringing the queen out early, it only does so in order to achieve a concrete purpose: the temporary misplacement of white's queen's knight as it goes to c3, blocking the c-pawn. Your proposed follow-up 3...Qe5+ also defies the basic opening principles, but this time there is no clear purpose besides helping white in their development. | |

| Jun 12, 2020 at 14:36 | comment | added | Joe | @AntonMenshov I agree. Whether or not it is a mistake in theory, in practice I would advise against it. It's a bit like playing 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5. That's technically not mistake, as it is often quoted in opening books, but is a terrible move to recommend to a beginner. The Qd8 example is a little less extreme, but I think the same idea holds. | |

| Jun 12, 2020 at 13:42 | comment | added | Anton Menshov | @RemcoGerlich While I don't argue with your general statement, Qd6 variations that I play rarely have a queen ending on c7. I think this is much more applicable to Qa5 variations. | |
| Jun 12, 2020 at 13:32 | comment | added | RemcoGerlich | It's a good question and I feel it needs a more concrete answer than given so far. In all of the "normal" lines ...Qa5, ...Qd8, ...Qd6 the queen usually ends up on c7. E5 is another route by which it can go there. Meanwhile white doesn't always play Be2. So there should be some concrete reason why it's not good to go to c7 so soon. | |
| Jun 12, 2020 at 13:03 | comment | added | Anton Menshov | @Joe I would like to note that 3. .. Qd8 Scandinavian is quite playable. I would not advise it to the novice, but I would not call it a mistake either. | |
| Jun 12, 2020 at 12:41 | comment | added | Joe | Many users below have pointed out that your queen will be attacked again. If White plays Nf3—the most natural square for the knight—then the queen will be harassed again. Note that the Scandanavian Defense is a good opening in spite of the fact that Black gets their queen out early. If you move your queen to the right square, then it can usually prove its 'nuisance value'. However, if you move it to e5, or move it back to d8 (another common mistake), then you are just wasting your time, and White will complete the opening with a small advantage. | |
