Playing the Scotch against inexperienced players almost isn't fair sometimes. The best moves for black are not the natural developing moves.

You're not the only one ...
Here's a Scotch miniature I just played - pretty nice mating net in the middle of the board.
"Oops," said my opponent.

Wow, this game could have been a miniature the other way! I'm surprised I missed that both in the game and looking at it when I reposted it.
Ok, here's a Sicilian miniature to make up for it

What do you think about my Scotch miniature? :)
Great!
Not sure if it counts, but I was winning at the end.
Nothing brilliant about this win, just taking advantage of my oppopnents mistakes. . . I find the Classical Dutch makes a lot of d4 players pretty uncomfortable.
A blitz game I played this afternoon against the chess.com machine. I won

Don't get me wrong -- in an out-of-character moment I actually wasn't being facetious, you rarely miss a step so I assumed the oversight must have been mine.
This one's a 15 minute game against an 1875, showing everyone has an off-day :-)
