Hi !
in a recent Chessbase column, we find an interview of Topalov (in
Bulgarian Playboy !)
in which they talk about Scandinavian and Reverse chess :
 
Playboy: Do you play some of the others kinds of chess –“Scandinavian”
and
“Reverse chess”?

Topalov: Yes, I have played the two options in my childhood. Now I do not
play them any more.

I assume that 'Reverse' chess is probably 'losing chess' (maybe not
!), but I can't find any info about Scandinavian chess !

thanks for you opinion about those 2 variants

“Scandinavian” is probably Bughouse. This chess variant one of the most popular between chess players. In Russia Bughouse is called 'Swedish chess', may be in Bulgaria it is 'Scandinavian'. I also think that “Reverse chess” is losing chess, what can it be else?
