      The regular Scotch chess opening white recaptures on d4 with the knight but in the Scotch Gambit white develops the bishop instead. Both are good options and depend on your playing style. Thanks for your comments.

    @balthazarbeutelwolf9097 2 місяці тому

    First 8 moves is normal Stafford stuff - any regular Stafford player rated 1600 and above is likely to play similar. By then you are in a super-tricky position where you need next to perfect play just to hold. 9..h4 is suspicious. 11...hg is not that special, 12..Rh2 is tricky but findable for a good player. So, yes it's a cheater, but if you play like this against a well-prepared 1900 you also get blown off the board.
