This is open thematic tournament about C45: The Scotch Game. It begins with the moves 1. e4 e52. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 .. The opening received its name from a correspondence match in 1824 between Edinburgh and London. Popular in the 19th century, by 1900 the Scotch had lost favour among top players because it was thought to release the central tension too early and allow Black to equalise without difficulty. More recently the Scotch has regained some popularity and it has been used by grandmasters Kasparov and Timman as a surprise weapon to avoid the well-analysed Ruy Lopez.
Winners of this tournaments will be invited to the Grand Final of BAKU OPEN. Please, always find latest news and all about upcoming tournaments on home-page of BAKU OPEN.
