When playing as white with pawn to e4, if your opponent opens with the Scandinavian defense with pawn to d4, here is something you can do to trap and capture their queen. Move your knight to f3 and black will capture your pawn on e4. Move your knight to g5. Black will most likely respond with knight to f6. Move your queen’s pawn to d3 and black captures your pawn. Capture their pawn with your bishop. If black is inexperienced they will most likely move pawn to h6. Capture the pawn at f7. Threatening the Queen and rook. Black captures your knight with their king. Move your bishop to G6 for check. Black’s king captures your bishop then your queen captures black’s queen. This is a solid advantage. At the beginning of the game, you can also try to bait your opponent to open with pawn to d5 by first playing your knight to f3 and then pawn to e4. This is called the Tennison Gambit.
