Accelerated Panov Attack, Pseudo-Scandinavian

The Pseudo-Scandinavian is the name for 3...Qxd5 after 1. e4 c6 2. c4 d5 3. exd5. The recapture copies the Scandinavian Defense but overlooks White's pawn on c4, which attacks d5, so 4. cxd5 wins the queen for a pawn at once. The line is a beginner's error rather than a playable variation. Its name comes from its listing in the Lichess opening database, not from any theoretical standing.
