What I should play against Scotch?
Sort:
3 ... exd4 and 4 ... Qh4. This 4th move is Steinitz's move. It has the highest win % for Black in my database and it will confuse your opponent. At your level, it will mean easy wins. You are welcome!

White wins 50% of games after Nc3. That's not a great win% for Black.

Among 4th Black moves, statisticially 4 ... Qh4 is best for Black at 38.6%. 4 ... Bc5 and 4 ... Nf6 are at 31.3% and 29.9%, respectively. (365database)
Correct me if I'm wrong.

just drink scotch while you play and it will all be good.
Each ounce reduces how much I care about winning or losing by about 80%. So, three ounces in, there's a 0.8% chance I'm still trying. I'm a lightweight, though, so your results may be different.

New bottle of Hibiki 12 getting opened this afternoon :-) although it's Japanese not Scottish so technically it's not Scotch. I don't play the Scotch anyway.

When I didn't posted this post, I didn't know how do I need to play against this opening. I will show you one game I played yesterday:
I'm feeling challenges in this opening like:
- En passant tricks
- When my opponent gaining tempo

Really? The next step is to find an engine or any other patzer for that matter suggesting anything else other than 4.d5.
the best way to play opening is to follow opening principles...
Thus first, develop your pieces, and try to castle. The idea too is to fight for centre control, and then we arrived to many systems, but for me, the logical set up would be :
U can try other moves, 4...Nf6 also is a big line which follows general principles. There are other variations, like this Qh4 which is very risky..., and 4...Bb4+ is an interesting try to provoke c3 then removing c3 sqaure for the Nb1. About Bc5 variation i gave, u can notice that provking c3 created a problem for white : he cannot develop Nb1 on its best square, c3.
We could add many comments about this, but once again, just play logical and follow principles. Then later, maybe u could try something else but really, this is a main variation for good reasons as i explained...
@ Chahmatistick :
I wonder what u plan on 5.Bc4 instead of Bd3 in your variation. It prevents d5 and creates big threats (Qd5 or Bxf7)...

Well... at this level, you should forget about openings, and get to them after quite some time.
You don't say so, and your level is? Never heard of it. So basically a patzer is not allowed to suggest a new move, not to say that even if he has no idea what he is talking about but he might as well be right on the occasion, call it an intuitive guess, he is not allowed to speak up. Nice. What the fuck is this?

In Chahmatisticks he really gave away a knight, black is totally lost at move 7
