The second in Lev Gutman's series of books, the Scotch Game, following on from Qh4 in the Scotch Game. Many books have been written about this chess opening but most just cover old analysis and reproduce games from a database. This book is distinguished by its high-quality and original analysis, making it a 'must buy' item for club and tournament players. This is the ultimate book on 4...BC5 in the Scotch Game from the ultimate series on the opening. A former second of Viktor Korchnoi, the author is also known as an outstanding expert on opening theory.

In this groundbreaking work, Gutman, an International Grandmaster and expert on opening theory, rehabilitates this ancient gambit with his usual creative and original analysis.
