Scandi supplemental, white DOES NOT move 2.exd5

dam_z 368,020 Hi Jaarbahd,

this move does not come by instinct to me as well.
I would have first think of a piece move, or c6, in order to restrain the range of the bishop on f3 and take away the d5 and and b5 squares from the white knight.
I kind of fear the weakening of the d5 square.
That said, I can guess the move c5 takes more spaces for blacks, and knight b8 to f6 seems more efficient after the pawn move to c5.

It also seems to conquer the d4 square.
By doing so I thought it would disturb the development of the c1 bishop, but e3 or b3 seem possibles.

My level is quite low so I could appreciate some enlightenment from psilohead or the chessable community.

Thanks to psilohead for his work by the way ! 4 months ago

Jaarbahd 387,550 This move is not clear to me. Every time I come here in this book, I forget it and that bugs me. Perhaps it would help if someone else could clear up any tactical ideas behind it that I am missing? Or is it just simple development into a defended square? 6 months ago
