The scotch

Hi there, I Love the Scotch opening and I think it's a great opening cause there aren't many traps and you are better after the opening Most of the time but I never See good Players Play it. Does Anybody know why?

idk actually why its not played more!
maybe because its not that much of theory in it so black foten dont go wrong!
i also think that e4 players search for more tactical openings while scotch is more solid and solid players plays d4!
i think garry kasparov had this as a surprise weapon and hikaru says that its great cuz its so simple! I actually dont care what ppl say about scotch! I am a scotch player and i Will always love scotch!

"I never See good Players Play it"

++ Kasparov played the Scotch in his World Championship Match with Karpov.
