THE SCOTCH GAME
1. e2-e4 e7-e5
2. Ng1-f3 Nb8-c6
3. d2-d4 e5xd4 The only good move:
3... d6
4. dxe5 is better for White.when black play 3.d6
4. Nf3xd4 or White can play c3 - the Goring Gambit or Bc4 - the
Scotch Gambit
Now Nxd4 is a mistake, putting the White Queen on a strong square. If you don't mind taking a risk, Qh4 is interesting: White's best reply is Ndb5. The two main lines are Nf6, to attack a pawn, or Bc5, to attack a knight.
