Is the Scotch Mieses Simply Lame for White?
I have fallen in love with the Scotch lately, and I'm very happy with the theory and positions I'm getting after 4...Bc5 5.Nb3. I struggle, however, to find positions where White even has pressure in ...

Scotch Game? Is it any good?
Hi, as a new 1.e4 player, I was wondering what some of the 1.e4 e5 members thought of the scotch game.
Is it inferior to the spanish or a viable opening through which white can obtain a strong i... Started 03/02/05 at 20:06:26 by Teyko « Pages 1 2 3 all » |

Schotch Gambit, meeting c3 with ...d3?
Long after giving up 1...e5 myself, it comes back to haunt me in the form of juniors seeking advice! One dangerous and popular line at near-beginner level is the Sctoch Gambit with 4.Bc4 (so Black doe...

C45: Sasikiran's Mieses
GM Sasikiran doesnt seem to share Dembo & Palliser's opinion that the old line 8...Nb6 9. Nc3 Bb7 and long castling is too passive as he played it twice at the Aeroflot Open.
