C47: Scotch Four Knights and Four Knights with 4 g3 Source: "Winning With The Scotch" (page 69) by Gary Lane. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.d4 exd4 5.Nxd4 Perhaps there is some wisdom in learning how to play such "simple looking" positions and in leaving the Ruy Lopez, etc. to the grandmasters. Note that this type of position can be reached either by the Four Knights Opening, as in the present game, or by the Scotch Opening {MB}. 5...Bb4 Anticipating White pushing e5 {MB}.

Better alternatives are 11...Be7; 11...h6; 11...Bg4; and 11...Rb8. 11...Bd6 looks aggressive, but Black has no realistic kingside attacking chances. 12.Nd4 c5? 12...Bd7 would be better, though White would have an advantage. 13.Nc6 To play such a committal move requires precise calculation by White {MB}. 13...Qc7 14.Bxf6 gxf6 [ 14...Qxc6 15.Bxh7+ 15...Kxh7 16.Qh5+ Kg8 17.Qg5 Bxh2+ 18.Kh1 g6 19.Qh4 Rfe8 20.Qh8# ] 15.Qh5 15...f5 16.Qg5+ Kh8 17.Qf6+ Kg8 18.f4 Qxc6 19.Rf3 19...Rfe8 20.Qh6 Bxf4 21.Rxf4 Bd7??
