In this course, Fide Master with 2 International Master norms Yuriy Krukun, reveals his opening repertoire against 1.e4 e5.
Tired of long theoretical games in Ruy Lopez, French, or the Sicilian?
Most “classical” openings require weeks worth of preparation, memorization, and understanding.
There is a better way. Take your opponent off the main road into a different territory with the Scotch Game!
Scotch is a dynamic, attacking, flexible opening that leads to active and solid positions every-single-time.
It is like a super-car, yet you can daily drive it AND it doesn’t require tons of maintenance.
And the best thing?
You can learn the entire system in under 4-hours with FM Yuriy Krykun revealing his entire preparation on Scotch!
Why Play the Scotch?
- Instant Edge – Scotch is a dynamic opening with many hidden surprises. The good thing is… you’ll have a detailed road map. If your opponent doesn’t… he might go home early with a quick ‘1-0’ next to his name.
- Powerful Attacks – Scotch gives white a tremendous attacking potential if they know what they are doing.
- Low Theory Opening – Scotch is one of those shortcut-openings that you could master in just a few hours and start winning your games after dinner. It gives you full initiative, leads to open positions, and even extracts your opponent’s King for you to checkmate!
