A Secret Weapon for Black – IM Bill Paschall

A Secret Weapon for Black

The Center Counter Defense is one of the oldest recorded openings first played in 1475. Bent Larsen played it from time to time and defeated World Champion Anatoly Karpov with it at Montreal 1979, spurring a rise in popularity. The popular name also began to switch from “Center Counter Defense” to “Scandinavian Defense” around this time. Here Bill shows you how to play this for Black.
