Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. 103+[1 ad] pages with diagrams and bibliography. Octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's wrappers. From Yasser Seirawan's Library with his embossed imprint on front end paper. First edition. The Scotch Game, or Scotch Opening, is a chess opening that begins with the moves: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4. Steinitz Variation: 4.Qh4!? Steinitz's 4.Qh4!? almost wins a pawn by force, but White gets a lead in development and attacking chances as compensation. As of 2005, White's most successful line has been 5.Nc3 Bb4 6.Be2 Qxe4 7.Nb5 Bxc3+ 8.bxc3 Kd8 9.0-0, when Black's awkwardly placed king has generally proven more significant than his extra pawn. Condition: Corners bumped, light edge wear else a very good copy.
