3/1/2018 0 Comments Instructive games: IM plays passive Scandinavian and GM punishes him for lack of counterplayI sometimes follow titled players online when I'm too tired to play my own games. And sometimes I get rewarded with an instructive game. Point 1: According to GM Nunn the Scandinavian is a bit passive. I play it sometimes in blitz games but there are better openings for Black. Point 2: Black fails to get counterplay and only plays with his Queen. By the time his pawns start rolling with b5 it's too late. Point 3: Watch how the GM attacks without rushing; he avoids trading Queens, and finds the final crushing rook sacrifice Rxf7! His target was clear from very early on.
