Love playing 1.e4 but bored of the slow positions you get after …e5? It’s time to turn to the Scotch! IM Irina Bulmaga is here to get you up to speed on this attacking weapon with her awesome 80/20 Tactics course. Get instant access with 50% off. ►https://ichs.co/2C755mt
The Scotch opening gives you an important psychological edge against 1…e5 players who are comfortable playing the Ruy Lopez and Italian Game, taking them into uncharted territory where you call the shots.
It is a strategically and dynamically complex chess opening for White that is full of tactical possibilities, making it perfect for players who want the game to be decided by skill instead of just memorizing theory.
The Scotch (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4!) smashes open the center immediately, allowing you to drag your terrified opponent into a tactical battle they won’t be prepared for. This opening was first played in a correspondence match between two cities, Edinburgh and London, back in 1824.
In this video, IM Irina Bulmaga gives you a solid introduction to the Scotch opening. Analyzing the Scotch can also be a good starting point in general to learn tactics. There are many different structures which can arise in the opening. More often than not, both sides will rely on subtle tactical ideas in order to achieve their aims.
It is essential to understand the key concepts and recurring themes of your chosen opening first. If you start to learn the Scotch opening, for instance, it makes little sense to learn long theoretical lines by heart if you haven’t been introduced to the typical recurring patterns. And that’s exactly what IM Irina Bulmaga provides you in this free preview of her 8-hour 80/20 Tactics Multiplier course on the Scotch.
Remember that chess tactics occur when pieces are in the right places, on active squares. When you have the right structure, with pieces working well together, you will find the tactical shots that decide games.
Join IM Irina Bulmaga and master an aggressive opening you can use to win games for the rest of your playing days.
