The Ambitious Scotch Game – Top-Level Repertoire for White + PGN November 30, 2025

Yet history shows us that openings never truly die; they merely await someone with the vision to breathe new life into them. GM Sina Movahed, at just 15 years old with a rating of 2596, brings precisely this fresh perspective to his debut Modern Chess course, The Ambitious Scotch Game – Top-Level Repertoire for White.
