Hello.
I would like to open the chess community’s eyes to a great chess variant hidden deep in the records of history. Its name is Scotch Chess.

In Scotch Chess, the board is set up like normal, so it is easy to set up. White starts by taking one normal turn. Then Black gets two moves for their first turn. Then White gets three moves for their second turn, and so on.

If a player gives a check on any of their moves, their turn is immediately over. The only way to win is to give checkmate without giving any checks first.

General strategies in Scotch chess:
-Turn all of your attention to avoiding Scholar’s Mate and trying to give it during the first two or three turns.
-As turns get longer, you will be able to promote a pawn or even two during your turn.
-Knights are very important at the start of the game as they can take out the queen or Scholar’s mate very easily.
-When turns get long, make sure you try to block your opponents pawns from promoting in any way possible.
-Ending your turn with a check on your last move is beneficial because then your opponent has to waste a move to get out of the check.

Thank you for reading and I hope you will join the effort to make Scotch chess a variant on Chess.com.

If you have any more information please comment.
