Mayhem in the Scotch Opening course by GM Fidel Corrales Jimenez 25 Oct 2024

Drop A Bombshell on 1…e5 with this Attacking Scotch Repertoire

Apart from the Ruy Lopez and the Italian, the centuries-old Scotch Game is considered to be one of the richest openings to be played as White – with a fraction of the theory.

Wielded by top players like GM Garry Kasparov, the Scotch Game perfectly combines central control with strong attacking potential, two ingredients essential for any aggressive player’s toolkit.

Cuban-born American Grandmaster Fidel Corrales, a true expert in the Scotch, is here to take you through this easy-to-pick-up opening. Fearing his expertise in the Scotch, there were many incidents where opponents refused to play 1…e5 against him.

In this course you will:

♜ Turn the most challenging variation to the Scotch into your ‘caviar’: GM Corrales’ cutting-edge analysis of the 4…Nf6 Schmidt Variation is sure to set a minefield for your opponents!

♜ Learn to make a big impact in your game: Along with learning unusual lines, you also get to develop your game against common lines such as 4…Bc5. This gives you the opportunity to create something unique and special over the board.

♜ Gain more than just opening knowledge: Get the best out of the Scotch Game with dedicated analysis on variations such as the Steinitz, Malaniuk, etc.

♜ Practical application along with theory: You also get access to master games of players to see and learn from real-life examples along with detailed analysis by GM Corrales.

This course caters to a wide range of players, from intermediate to expert level. In the words of GM Corrales “This is not an opening course. It is a chess course” – and he says so because you learn everything right from the opening to the endgame.

GM Corrales, whose peak rating has been 2617, is known for his attacking gameplay and has won several tournaments, including the World Open in 2023. He has coached many attacking players throughout his career, and this course is your chance to learn from him.

If you’re ready to weaponize the Scotch Game, blindside your opponents with unexpected attacks, and learn from one of the Scotch’s leading experts, then Mayhem in the Scotch is for you.
