Mistakes for black in the Scotch

Submitted by PrideNSorrow on Sun, 12/30/2007 at 10:26am.

This is my first blog post so bear with me, and let me know what you think!

In the game below I play white in the Scotch opening. My opponent played 3.. d6 which was the first time I had seen this reply. An interesting idea perhaps, looking to develop the QB but he quickly falls victim to a queenside pin. A reminder to study all openings and learn a few moves of the main line, at least, to get you through an unfamiliar opening.

Horrible play on white.  Clearly white does not know how to play chess. /wrist

on white's 4th move I sometimes play 4.dxe5 then.. 4.. dxe5 5.Qxd8+ Kxd8 and he loses the right to castle. then I play super aggresive against the exposed king. same with 4.. Nxe5 5.Nxe5 dxe5 6.Qxd8+ Kxd8.. just something to look at..
