Scandinavian Shock — Trap the Queen and Win Quick Short, punchy video showing a simple Scandinavian (Center Counter) trap that punishes an over-eager queen. Start with the familiar idea — Black recaptures on d5 with the queen — and then watch how White gains time with natural developing moves (Nc3, Bf4/Bc4, and Re1) to chase and trap the queen. I’ll explain the key motifs (tempo, knight jumps to d5, and exploiting pins), show one clean example line, and finish with practical tips so you can spring this trap in your club games. What you’ll learn in 90 seconds: • Why grabbing the central pawn with the queen is often risky. • The three-tempo pattern that chases the queen: Nc3 → Bc4/Bf4 → Re1 (or Nd5 tactics). • Two common ways Black can avoid the trap — and how to punish mistakes. Perfect for beginners and club players who love quick tactical wins.
