  • by IM Daniel Rensch
  • | Dec 24, 2012

  All your holiday wishes come true today: A Live Session for everyone!

  • | Mar 31, 2010

  In this Live Sessions match, Danny ventures into a main line of the Scotch Game. With the Scotch Game being an opening he knows quite well, Danny is able to shed some light on this theoretically well-known ending, as well as some practical advice about playing "Unbalanced Material" positions (in this case, two minors for a rook)... | Watch video

• Underrated Openings Part 3

  • by GM Roman Dzindzichashvili
  • | Jul 22, 2009

  In this video, Roman covers a big mainline of the Scotch Gambit: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 ed 4.Bc4 Nf6 5.e5 d5 6.Bb4 Ne4 7.Nxd4 Bd7. You will definitely learn something from this very complex strategic opening, as Dzindzi shows you how to choose between two main sources of play: a central blockade or a vicious kingside attack. | Watch video
