Jonathan Schrantz teaches the Scotch Game, an underestimated opening that releases tension in the center early. Besides two notable games, the Goering gambit and the Dubois-Reti defence are also covered.

Magnus Carlsen vs Peter Leko, Pearl Spring Chess Tournament (2009): C45 Scotch game
Garry Kasparov vs Etienne Bacrot, Sarajevo (2000): C45 Scotch, Mieses variation

6. Nb5 is actually a very interesting line "Blumenfeld Attack", if your oponent doesn't know theory he can say byebye. I actually beat an IM thanks to that 🙂
There is no bad move Kb5, I ve seen it a lot

All these chess instructors are amazing. I've watched several hours of their videos but maybe they should switch to Vitamin Water (*Not an endorsement). They always seem very dehydrated lol.
It's 2020 🙂 thank you for teaching a newbie how to play this opening :). Love your content. Keep it coming
Scotch is one of my favorite opening for white 😁
"Some people like to be better for a long time" such a Finegold-like comment
What if black at 24:03 did Nh4, that would make for some interesting issues for white.
If only xqc knew
Came from Jonathan Scrantz
Immediately destroyed by the legend, Moist Cr1tikal.
Why would i use this if i can use the wooden sheild?
You know that you're shouting, I assume?
6:50 can someone explain how the "white is having all the fun"?
no word for this channel and gj chess
12:33 Carlsen v. Leko: 4. … Bc5
31:38 4. … Nf6
"Alwasys play queen d8..The knight on b5? Well.. its expedition was useless.." LMFAOOOOO
What is that flag next to Schrantz's name? I know this video was a long time ago so nobody will probably see this comment but if anybody does please let me know.
the ans after a careless move is nc6
As a new player at 1200 rating, everyone I face takes the knight on d4. It would be interesting to see some analysis on this line and how to take advantage of it as white, because the engine says it's wrong, but my queen gets chased around and I don't get to take advantage of the inaccuracy.
Move 4 for white: Qxd4 – the Botez gambit
The nakhmanson gambit
At 35:46 when black moves F5 can't white take it with his e5 pawn en passant and check the king at the same time? Would this line be bad or good?
Who else is here because of hikaru

that's what I usually play in my games
Ha I play this opening every white game in blitz and never even knew what it was called until now. Im a 1300 level player about 2k white games played. Whats funny is he's right it confuses the other players much of the time i would say. Many grind 30 seconds on it and grind the next couple moves to. I usually have a 1 minute lead after 3 or 4 moves and go into defense the rest of the game and win on time or by speeding them up I guess.

Ate u allowed to castle? Thought king was in check already
I love playing the scotch game. After a cpl of tumblers – all the bad moves dont seem so bad… and my moves Arent as bad as when I play the 'vino' game, for example.
