Scotch and Sidelines – Top-Level Repertoire for Black

We are happy to announce that GM Pier Luigi Basso has completed his 1.e4 e5 repertoire with another amazing work – Scotch and Sidelines – Top-Level Repertoire for Black.

In this course, he covers all White’s deviations from Ruy Lopez and Italian. Besides being solid and theoretically sound, the suggested repertoire is also very ambitious. Whenever possible, GM Basso opts for the continuation that would create maximum practical problems for the opponent. Therefore, all the lines can be played at any level.

The course consists of 20 theoretical chapters, 20 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (3h and 36min Video Running Time).

Once again, you will find Basso’s signature 15-minute repertoire video, where he highlights the most important ideas for quick application, backed by a corresponding PGN file for easy reference.
