Scandinavian Defense: Gubinsky-Melts Defense
Overview
Scandinavian Defense: Gubinsky-Melts Defense is a specific line in the Semi-Open Games family (ECO B01), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.
It begins with 6 plies and takes 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qd6 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Scandinavian Defense: Mieses-Kotroc Variation, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
The line splits into 3 documented sub-systems: Scandinavian Defense: Bronstein Variation, Scandinavian Defense: Schiller-Pytel Variation, Scandinavian Defense: Schiller-Pytel Variation, Modern Variation.
