@17:34, after a lot of thinking, I settled on Rxe2. Then I looked up the actual game (Marinus Kuijf vs. Julian Hodgson, 1989), and Black played the spectacular Qb3! Thanks for the great video!
@Primitive_Code

Thanks for looking that up, I wouldn't have seen that move. Obviously axb3 leads to Nxb3# and Qxa5 leads to Qc2#, and the threat is Qxa2 I believe for Qxb1# or if white covers mate, Nb3+ wins the queen.
@Abukrat

Qb3 is something I thought of, but what if white do not capture her by the pawn, but instead blocks the bishop by bishop, or do any other move that do not break the defence? It seems black will eventually loose some material 🤔

For the position at ~ 17:25 time marker there are several options: (ONE) 1. .... R x e2, then if... 2. Q x b4, R c2 # BUT, white queen is NOT obligated to capture black queen on move 2. Correct 2nd move is: 2. Q x e2 rook. In this case there is NO mate in near future. ( TWO ) 1. ..... Q b3, and IF 2. a x b3, then N x b3 # But this also fails, as White is NOT obligated to capture Bkack's queen on b3. The correct response for White is 2. Q c3. This allows thw White's king escape through the vacated d2 square. (I put this through a chess engine and it did find a forced win for Black... in 42 moves!!!) Thank you for the lecture. I thought it was interesting. P.S. The mating engine solution started with 1. .... R x e2 bishop.

Maybe play ph6 first; to enable an escape for the bishop in case white plays Kf4; the bishop is needed to dominate the c2 square in front of the king. Then Qc5 followed by Kb6. C4 could not be defended by white. A black night would end up in c4 pressuring the white queen if it was still there) and threatening check mate by the black queen on on b2. If this can be avoided by white at all, the black rooks would prove devastating in the next few moves.

Is the move at 17:27 Qb2? If white takes with pawn, Nb2 is check-mate because of black's white bishop. If Qxa4, Qc2 is checkmate. If black plays Nc3, QxA2, NxA2, Nb3 is checkmate again. Seems to me even in the best case scenario white haves to give up the queen.

No wonder why Fischer laughed when his opponent used Scandinavian defense as it has many flaws or shall i say it's very easy to counter its gambit move. As i love to play gambit, i also study the weakness and Scandinavian has the most counters against it. These moves only work on the average players.

Some observations:- 1. After 3...e6, white can play d4 just as in the 3...c6 line. While transposing into an Exchange French is not particularly bad for black, it is probably not what you are looking for if choosing this type of gambit. 2. Only examining the 4th best move (d4) at the start of the variation seems to me to be disingenuous. 5. Be2 is the move that scores best at all levels but Nf3 and d3 are both moves that are more challenging than the immediate d4. 3. In the main d4 line, the video fails to mention the better scoring variation: e4 d5; ed Nf6; c4 e6; de Bxe6; d4 Bb4+; Bd2 Qe7; Be2. 4. Even in the line given with 7. Bxb4, it again fails to mention the very high scoring move 10. Be2 (e4 d5; ed Nf6; c4 e6; de Bxe6; d4 Bb4+; Bd2 Qe7; Bxb4 Qxb4+; Qd2 Qe7; Qe3 Nc6; Be2). Players should go into dubious lines understanding what they are committing themselves to. You should not go into opening theory expecting your opponent to play as a beginner because if your opponent is that much weaker than you you should be able to win playing something completely sound. Trappy and offbeat lines can be a useful strategy but do it knowing the type of position you get if your opponent reacts properly. Guides that purport to show how to win quickly as black and fail to show the correct moves for the opponent are dangerous for your chess development and should be avoided.
