White vs Scandinavian Defense

Chess Anyone?

I have not played against the Scandinavian much lately or ever. I usually see Black play the Ruy Lopez or the Sicilian Defense (which is my favorite) when I open with 1. e4.

This opening is classified under code B01 in the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings. The Scandinavian Defense, described in the poem Scachs d'amor, is the oldest opening by Black recorded in modern chess. Considered to be the most directly challenging move available to Black after 1.e4, the general goal of the defense is to prevent White from controlling the center of the board with pawns, effectively forcing an open game, while allowing Black to build a strong pawn structure. - Wikipedia
