🔹 Scotch Game/Gambit for White - • The Best Chess Opening...
♛ Find the Scotch Game variations for Black shown in the video in this blog-post - chess-teacher.com/scotch-game...
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shows how to counter the Scotch Game, one of the most common and aggressive chess openings for White. It arises after the following moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4, and Black is almost forced to take the pawn with 3...exd4.
At this moment, White has a few interesting options:
1) 4.Ng5 - a dubious but very dangerous attacking option for White
2) 4.Nxd4 - the simple Lolli Variation, leading to the classical Scotch Game
3) 4.Bc4 - the Scotch Gambit, where White aims for quick development and a powerful attack against the Black king
If you are not familiar with these variations as Black, it is very easy to falter within the next few moves. That’s why GM Smirnov shares the best and easiest way to counter all these variations.
And the best part? You will cut down on a lot of opening theory by learning a single variation that can be played against all these lines. The London Defense variation, which occurs after 4...Bb4+ in the Scotch Gambit, forces White to react to the check, thus limiting their choices.
You will also learn the common opening mistakes to avoid, middlegame plans, typical attacking ideas, and some deadly traps.

4.Bc4 Bb4+ 5.c3 dxc3 6.O-O gambiting two pawns for an enormous lead in development. Also 6.bxc3 Ba5 7.O-O Bb6 8.Ba3 Nge7 9.e5 O-O 10.Re1 gives White strong pressure.

All I have to say is thank you for this video. Super informative, I took GM advice and reach similar positions because of it. This should help me play much better over all outside of these two examples.

@eclecticexplorer7828 Ай бұрын

The key for white in the Scotch Game is to develop the bishop to d3, not c4. That keeps the bishop off the 4th rank where the Qh4 tactic works, and it provides a defender for the pawn on e4. The sequence is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4 Bb4+ 5.c3 Bc5 6.Be3 Bb6 7.Bd3. If black does play Qh4, then white can comfortably castle, and after Nf6, white plays h3, keeping the knight from coming forward, although white has other even better options.

@andrewrichter2231 10 күн бұрын

Igor, what do you do when the opponent kicks your bishop a second time. Like when they kick twice in a row once on c3 and then again on b4? The opponent can then make a third pawn move in a row with h4, trapping the bishop.

Do you have a course covering all the major opening traps after 1. e4 e5? If not, is there a chess book that covers this information that you can recommend? Thank you!

Does it matter if we don’t play Bb4?

@spghose2437 Ай бұрын

The main threat in scotch gambit is queen to d5 lining with bishop and white knight coming to fried liver attack, although it's great to know black knight covering queen is one panacea to queen coming to d5 ......Scotch gambit remains a big Mistry after all these years as it offshoots so many variations of attack which is even unknown today and black is sometimes clueless.

@bt82 Ай бұрын

4:14 instead of white retaking on c3, what if they just castle? Black then takes another pawn on b2 and white takes back with the bishop. This is the line I’ve been looking at for the scotch gambit.

@abir_existz7325 Ай бұрын

The thumbnail says it all.

@jopekpl3986 Ай бұрын

Honestly, Malaniuk is one of the variations that I hate when playing Scotch. It's better according to computer to play classical but you just force them to go c3 without taking out your queen

I've won alot of games when black plays bishop b4, I think that move isn't accurate, because it can transpose into the dangerous danish gambit

Not at all be confident with yourself may be you might be doing some mistakes like playing bullet and blitz chess too much not working on your chess properly and you may be confused how should you work on chess and impove so start working with even if you are aged 25-26 you can play chess competitively you just need to believe on yourself and never dought your potential
