The Scotch Gambit is one of the most common played opening by many professional chess players. By sacrificing the d4 pawn and placing the Bc4, it helps to aim at the f7 square. Most of the sacrifices of Scotch Gambit are connected with f7. This aggressive gambit will gives the oppurtunity to have the lead in development and control over more space.

Amazing chess opening and presentation. I really learned a lot from this video. Though I do have one question. What if the opponent plays Qf3? I've faced that quite a few times..

[@DaleChess]

On what move Black plays Qf6? I can give you some directions against it

Useful Post

Thanks

[@oloyt6844]

Suggesting Qh5 after Ng5 is bad idea because of Qe7 or Qf6, white has nothing and black is much better. Instead ply nxf7 or c3 much earlier after bc5

[@karibo6468]

Great video. Just want to know if at 1:40 when Ne5+ what would be the best follow up if king goes back to e8 or e7?

[@DaleChess]

If Ke8 white has Qh5+ black plays g6 and white plays Nxg6 black can't take back since the rook in pinned by a Queen on h5. If Ke7 in that case we play Bg5+ and castle. Here is white down a piece, but it has very serious attack in the centre which would be difficult for black to handle it. Kind of we can say we compensated bishop sacrifice to create a strong attack

11 mn Be7 instead of Ne7 (blunder)

Gg! Awonder Liang was certainly inspired by your vidéo :-)

[@DaleChess]

Haha, true. It's a great honor that top players are getting inspired. Thanks for your comment:)

The problem I have is when black plays 4. d6 I can't find an energetic way to continue so I just take the pawn back and try to play with a stronger centre, but that seems unthematic?

[@mariovieira4298]

When playing against computer I see this reply often (and can't win, but I can't win computer at all). It seems like the best plan is simply take the pawn with knight and get the upper hand on center early. If black knight captures, we recapture with queen. This is indeed not so energetic as the other lines on video, but black side will not be happy.

[@DaleChess]

That's good point, Mario! After some tradings on d4 square, White will get much more active setup comparing passive structure of Black. If black declines to capture the knight on d4, White can simply damage pawn structure by creating double pawns on the Queenside after Nxc6. This already provides good positional advantage for White.
