Some vato did the Scandinavian Defense (1. e4 d5) we traded pawns (2. exd5 Qxd5) I threatened his queen (3. Nc3) he did the Patzer Variation (3...Qe5+) then 4. Be2 Bg4 5. d4 and he's like ay back up off my queen vato (5...Qe6) then 6. Be3 Bxe2 7. Qxe2 Nc6 8. d5 Nd4 9. Bxd4 Qxe2 10. Ngxe2 O-O-O 11. Bxa7 b6 12. Nb5 Rxd5 13. c4 Rc5 14. b3 Kb7 15. Rd1 Nf6 16. Rd8 Rxb5 17. cxb5 Kxa7 18. O-O e6 19. Nd4 Bc5 20. Nc6+ Kb7 21. Rxh8 and then that fool gave up and I'm like that'll teach you to front holmes.

Can anyone point me to an in depth video series on Scandinavian Defense somewhere ? I intend to make it into my main retort to e4 as Black.
