Using this reference

For Scandinavian Defense, start at the first position and step through the moves rather than memorizing the final board. After each move, look for the piece that moved and the squares it now influences. The same opening name can cover several branches, so use the selected line’s move order as your reference.

The final position in the viewer is where this recorded line ends, not a verdict on the position. Choose another listed branch to see where the paths separate. The viewer displays legal source moves; it does not provide an engine evaluation or establish a forced continuation.
