I'm always willing to help with the scotch -- how big is the bottle?
Help needed with the Scotch!!
Sort:
be3 is stronger then Nb5 because you still have control over the center and your opponent will have to fight hard to win it over you, Nb5 is a bit weak, but it is also good but not as strong IMO
lol they should rename the scotch opening because so many of you are addicted to alcohol :P
lol I should have renamed this title :P
For all your scotch needs, just join this group:

(And either Be3 or Nxc6 can be played with good position)
hehe if you drink more scotch i think your scotch game should get better. Right thats how chess works -> the more you drink the better it gets. :D

hack,
This variation of the scotch is relatively rare, but black has had good success with it, and has won as many games as white. I'm surprised we don't see it more often.
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Qf6 5. Nb3 Qg6 6. Qe2 Nf6 7. N1d2 Nb4 8. Kd1 Be7 9. g3 d5 is good for black, as is
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Qf6 5. Be3 Bc5 6. c3 Qg6 7. Qf3 Nxd4 8. cxd4 Bb4+ 9. Bd2 Bxd2+, and
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Qf6 5. Be3 Bc5 6. c3 Nge7 7. Bc4 O-O 8. O-O Qg6 9. Nd2 Bxd4 10. cxd4 d5
Hell, I'll start playing it.
thanks! interesting stuff
Hack, if it is any help I always play Nb5...
As you probably all know, Carlsen trashed Leko recently with the Scotch, which made me want to learn the Scotch!
