About the course

The Scotch is very similar to the Center Game where d4 opens up lines for development and also gives white early center control. In the Scotch Game, black will be able to develop easy and white should look to take advantage of its special and center control. The basic move order of the Scotch Game is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4.
