Where it's at here, is you started a topic on the Scandinavian defense.
Quite a fine aggressive response to P-K4 or e4 IMO. d4. Shall we play? The White pawn takes on move 2.

TBH, I think the best Black can do is draw.

I have been playing around with the Scandi defense.
Everywhere I go with it, it leads to a solid but cramped position for Black. Bit like the French defense. e4-e6.
You spend far too much time withdrawing that premature Queen move.
My preferred response to e4-d5 is e5 and duck the pawn swap. Gets White an advanced strong double central pawn structure and easy rouitine piece development. After that, Black is even more horribly cramped.
In other words, whatever you do as Black, you are always behind in something.
