Just purchased Smerdon’s Scandinavian – Game one – Modern wave of popularity, credited with sparking the 3 BG4 craze. After 27 Be3 g1N+!! how is 28 Kf1 possible with black pawn on g2?? typo??
I am the proud happy owner of Smerdon’s Scandinavian, and very much appreciate the thesis that this opening can be played so that it gets an advantage in the opening except for certain lines (possible correspondence refutation) that are not practical for white to play OTB.
However it seems that a later book by John Shaw is disputing this. In particular seems to maintain that some of the positions you see as practically favorable are not.
I was zonering what has become of this dispute? Have you replied to his criticisms? Has this gone back and forth?
