In this video course, twenty-nine examples with multiple questions are presented in the interactive format, which is ideal for a range of playing strengths. Step by step you will be taken through the complex positions.
In this week's show I am having a closer look at the good old Scotch Gambit, which was seen in the games Liang-Aronian (US Championship) and Mamedov-Anand (European Club Cup).
In both games Black got into some serious trouble, and Aronian even got blown off the board impressively. We are going to discuss the current state of this line with some historical background information, as already back in Amsterdam 1887 the Van Foreest brothers (Arnold and Dick, not Jorden and Lucas!) contributed to the opening theory in this line.
