1... e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 |
The Scotch. |
| | |
|
3... exd4 4. Bc4 |
The Scotch Gambit. |
| | |
|
4... Nf6 |
Reaching the Two Knights, which often arises following 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. d4 exd4 5. e5. |
| | |
|
5. e5 Ne4 |
5. ...d5 is considered to be the main line. |
| | |
|
6. Qe2 Bb4+ |
Much safer is 6. ...Nc5. |
| | |
|
7. Kf1 Nc5 |
The knight had nowhere else to go, but now the bishop's escape diagonal has become blocked. |
| | |
|
8. a3 d5 |
This move allows white to capture with discovered check. But, 8. ...Ba5 9. b4 also loses material. |
| | |
|
9. exd6 e.p.+ Ne6 10. axb4 Qxd6 11. b5 Na5 |
The final mistake. Black has overlooked that the a-file is now half-open. |

12. Rxa5 |
