As a life long Scotch Gambit player, I wish I had this video when I started. Very well done for the amount of theory there is. I sometimes uses this to get into the Max Lange. I have since moved on to the Jobava London (which I would love to see you cover - hint) but occasionally, I like to dust off my favorite 1e4 line when my opponents don't play the Sicilian, French, Caro Kan, and Petroff (which is why I switched to the Jobava in the first place) . This video will be nice resource for those times when I go back. Thanks!
Glad you found this video helpful! I made a couple Scotch Gambit videos when I first started but thought I'd revisit it in more depth. That's cool you play the Scotch Gambit it's a fun opening with a long history.
Great analysis of the Scotch gambit - I have been playing this opening for over a year now, but it never hurts to brush up on the theory. Keep up the good work Sir.
Hey Stefan! Glad you enjoyed it man, and nice opening choice! I've been playing it on and off since I was 8 or so - great gambit option for white!
you said in another vid this was your go to around 1000. inspired me to actually learn an opening. really fun and attacking chess!

Scotch Week! whiskey and kilts!
Definetely one of the most underrated openings out there! I love the way you present it, makes me wanna play it right now!!!
Good stuff Solomon. I'd be playing this if I was an e4 player for sure.
Thanks Danny - one of the top gambits for e4 players in my opinion.
Great video!
Thank you brotha!
Thank you, this video complete my e4 opening. I hope i can be GM someday
Yessir!! Glad to help!
Hey Solomon, at 8:14 the video repeats the section of Nxe4. I guess you just wanted to make sure we were aware of the following tactic 😂. Keep up the great work though, loved the video!
Thanks for letting me know! I will talk to my editor about this, glad you enjoyed the video!
loving the channel. pleasant ideas in the air when we're just playing chess
Thank you! Thanks for tuning in and always feel free to let me know any content you'd want to see!
This is perfect.
Been waiting for this!
Yessir! Glad I was finally able to make it!
Excellent video, thorough and insightful.
Woohoo! Incredible man. Other than my Pirc requests, this is the coverage I was hoping for White opening wise. Thanks bro!
You got it Jarrod! And for the Pirc you were wanting a video on the Bryne Variation right? Thanks my guy!
@@TheChessGiant I did! Thanks so much once again bro. I've been checking each day lol. But I know you have your own content projects you've been working on, so I'm patient lol. This Scotch Game / Gambit has been keeping me busy plus I've watched your other Pirc playlist like 12 times each now lol.
Thanks again dude!
@@jarrodthekidder1 Cool! Thanks! And ya I will make sure my next Pirc theory video is on the Bryne! Glad you're enjoying the series!
@@TheChessGiant Sorry to always be bugging you man. If you ever see this, just a quick question regarding the Scotch Gambit / Game: Lets say you intend to play it but they 1) go into the Petrov on move two 2) dont take on d4 3) play the Scandinavian on move one or 4) they play the Caro or Sicilian? Do you "just play chess" as you always say (lol) or is there preparation that I can do in order to still go with my intended Scotch Game (Gambit prolly out the window now)? Sorry for the lengthy question!
@The Chess Giant - Hey Solomon! Do you think you can successfully play the Scotch Gambit against the Sicillain (1. e4, c5 2. Nf3, Nc6 3. d4,...) ? Do you think its viable. Its really just the c-pawn thats different than the standard variation. But that means that their e-pawn isnt in the game yet....
heard you say once that this was your jam at 1000. so I decided to actually learn an opening. having lots of fun with interesting positions
I would love some more videos on chess strategy!
Roger that!!
Love it, many thanks Uk
Thanks Ronald! I'm glad to hear you liked it, and nice choice with the Scotch Gambit! 🙏🏼🤝
Great friend of mine loves to play this opening
NICE.
Annnnnndddd were playing attacking chess! Love it man. Definitely going to mess around with this. Hope ur well. Heard the big news, congrats. -Trev
Nice video! I recently started studying the Scotch system and your video was very well presented with many relevant lines. One line I didn't see covered is the Sarratt Variation which is ...Bc5 Ng5 Nh6 with the point of sacrificing the knight on f7 and picking up the bishop on c5 with Qh5+. The Max Lange Attack is another critical line that should probably be covered in a Scotch video. Also, in Fishbein's book he doesn't recommend f3 and f4 immediately in the Advance Variation (...Nf6 e5 d5 Bb5) because it allows black to play Qb8. Instead, he recommends f3 Ng5 Be3!? Bb6 f4 Nxe4 Nd2. Maybe it would be a good idea to make a part II video if you haven't already. Thanks for the well presented video. Cheers!
Thanks for these great thoughts! Can tell you're really digging into the chess opening lines/chess opening variations which is aweseome. Can you let me know what you mean by the Max Lange Attack? I thought that was in the Vienna Game no? Or is there a transposition?
@@TheChessGiant . Hello, the Max Lange Attack goes 3. Bc4 Bc5 d4 exd4 e5 d5. Both the black knight on f6 and the white bishop on c4 are under attack and its white's turn. Usually, white ignores his bishop and captures on f6 leading to very complex play. See Ponkratov vs Shinkevich, 2013 or Fishbein vs Zinsky, 2016 for model games. Black can go wrong very fast in this line.
For the Sarratt variation I recommend watching "This Guy Just Demolished a Super GM with SCOTCH GAMBIT" in Jonathan Schrantz's youtube channel. Beautiful game. Awonder Liang vs Levon Aronian 2022.
Okay that' really lucky, u posted this onw day before and I lost to someone that was using the scotch gambit
First off, sorry you lost! Second, glad it finally came out lol!
You sound like Matthew Mcconaughey! Which is good for me 🐐
Nice video chess
Is there any chance we could get a video on the Sämisch variation of the King’s Indian Defense?
I will add this to the list Katie, thanks!
3:50 ah yes. bishop.
Scotch Week. hairy legs, whiskey, shillelaghs
I Like 👍
Thanks Cesar!

Nimzowitsch defense I think the only defense that never tackled in your video
Need to make this soon!
Here it is! ruclips.net/video/AcWPOrHLmu4/видео.html
Another gambit to frustrate prepped players. Thanks bud!
Well said, and you got it Bra!
What if after 5.0-0 black plays d5?
Hey could you send me a timestamp so I know exactly where you're talking about? Thanks brotha!
How to counter the scotch opening.?
I should make a video on this! However, just to tell you know...
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. d4 exd4
4. Bc4 Nf6
5. e5 d5
6. Bb5 Ne4
Black has reached solid game.
Great... Amazing..
Great but, another hyper teach. Slow down your speeech and moves so can that we viewers can have some time to absorb the infomation on the board. Take my advice.
