The BLUMENFELD Scotch that got me to 2100 ELO!!!

The single greatest line in all of chess ensued on the board today. I'm loving the Lichess database function which could become a regular part of the analysis. Follow me on Lichess at willtaylorchess if you'd like to feature in a video!!

At 6:50 my thoughts: Knight takes C7 (fork rook and king) Queen takes knight C7 (removes defender of F8) Bishop takes bishop E6 Pawn takes bishop Queen F8 Check King D7 is forced Either Queen takes rook A8 or Queen G7 Check and takes Rook on H8 Any issue with this sequence? NOTE: obviously pawn doesn’t have to take bishop back, but then you win a pawn and bishop for a knight

Can you please make a opening study about the blume field, O'Sullivan and mengarini and other tricky gambits

[@willtaylorchess]

I'm planning on doing that after familiarising myself with the lichess study function as I'm still pretty new to the site but absolutely soon!

[@ryou8820]

@@willtaylorchess yep lichess study is one of the best perks and what's even better is you can import someone's study and improvise on it as well

Ive just had My First 100% Accuracy Game (by Tomy). The Blumenfeld feels proper seat of the pants but I love it. Shame most people at my rating don't go down the main line Scotch.

[@willtaylorchess]

Love to see it man!

[@kamikaz777]

Will that suit on the thumbnail is Crazy 🤣🤣🤣 man is a pimp

[@ivailopavlovski5894]

[@Lukemijster]

At 6:07 you missed Bxe6 pxe6 Nxc7!!😮 Qxc7 Qf8+ winning the rook!!

[@TheRampax]

I play the Scotch a lot, but this line defo adds some spice to things and leads to exciting games. #stayHydrated
