C45: Scotch 4...Bb4+ 5.c3 Bc5 Hi everyone, I'm interested in the line 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Bb4+ 5. c3 Bc5 My problem is that I don't like playing against the Mieses after 4...Nf6 e5. Not that I believe ...

Scotch Opening-time for an update? Hi everyone, I was investigating the Scotch as a possibility for white, when I ran into a bit of a problem. I have "Play the Open Games as Black" by Emms (juuuust a bit outdated now, but still us... Started 11/01/07 at 22:47:24 by Seth_Xoma	6	4086	11/21/07 at 17:40:41 By: Girkassa
Scotch Dear All, Just seen that Emms ' s book on the Scotch is now for sale from the London Chess Centre. I was a bit disappointed that it's a starting out book rather than say a book like Wells.<b... Started 09/26/05 at 07:10:11 by Andrew Brett (Guest)	1	1871	09/26/05 at 13:21:51 By: Alvaro
The Scotch For Knights In the Scotch Four Knigts (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. d4) I like to play 4 ... Bb4!? This side steppes the Scotch Four Knights proper and the Belgrade. Now isn't that cute? I can see ... Started 03/11/05 at 12:08:22 by CheckMate (Guest)	1	2076	03/15/05 at 08:07:45 By: Markovich

Good Scotch update: Dec 2007. There is a very useful discussion of the Scotch 4...Nf6 in this month's update. It's well worth the price of admission. Thanks, Tony. Started 12/27/07 at 16:34:53 by Markovich	3	3296	12/31/07 at 18:50:06 By: GMTonyKosten

C45: Unusual line in the Scotch In a current tournament I faced this line 1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nxc6 bxc6 6. Bd3 d5 So far it's all normal, but I thought the next move was either 7. exd5 or 7. e5 . Instea... Started 08/24/14 at 00:10:33 by RdC	0	3471	08/24/14 at 00:10:32 By: RdC

C45: a6 as an alternative in Scotch: ..Bc5/..Qf6 Until a few years ago I played 4...Qh4?! vs. the Scotch but finally came to my senses, switching to 4...Qf6.

The Scotch Hi All After the moves 1,e4 e5 2,Nf3 Nc6 3,d4 exd4 4,Nxd4 Bc5 5,Nxc6 Qf6 the move 6, Qf3!? seems to be a very annoying move for Black to face. Indeed this move has been recommended in The Scotch ... Started 04/24/10 at 22:21:13 by akita	3	3240	04/25/10 at 11:22:05 By: akita
What about the scotch??? Hi to all! I was wondering why people like Nataf, or Sutovsky (ie, attacking players) do play the Scotch. I knox it leads to open positions that might suit them, but, to my understanding, most of... Started 11/07/04 at 04:25:51 by krugman	0	1815	11/07/04 at 04:25:50 By: krugman

Is there a new fashion in the scotch ? Recently I tried the scotch (with white) in some internet blitz games, and again and again (yes, different players of course, so far as I know at least ) I got the same position (a rare line) on th...
