The Modern Scotch Opening

Many chess players still associate the Scotch Opening with exciting complications and do not believe that the variation has a solid positional basis. But the opening now offers more than the adventurous games from the 19th century suggest and has developed into a healthy, aggressive alternative to the ever-popular Spanish. On his first Fritz Trainer DVD, Indian grandmaster Parimarjan Negi demonstrates how the revolutionary theoretical developments in the Scotch Opening have led to completely new strategies and why the best players in the world are now once again very interested in the Scotch. In his six-hour course, Negi not only presents White's ideas in detail, but also shows how Black can dynamically counter this latest trend.
