Opening Roulette October Edition: The Scotch Game

Sort:
Wind

This month's Opening Roulette features The Scotch Game for the whole month. Elected the top choice by community votes (20.4%) across Chess.com, Twitter and Discord, the Scotch Game is a centuries-old 1.e4 opening for White and one of the best alternatives to the Ruy Lopez. A good opening for beginners, the Scotch is also an excellent weapon for players of every strength level. Join the action and play from both sides of this timeless gem!
When? Every Monday in October!
Where? In the Chess.com Community Club
