1.e4 e5 for Black - Everything Except Italian and Ruy Lopez  Completed 

Welcome to the final part of the 1.e4 e5 repertoire by GM Ioannis Papaioannou. While the first two camps were dedicated to the Italian Game and Ruy Lopez, the final one will cover all the remaining White's options. Dealing with the irrational Scotch positions and all the gambits that White has at his disposal can be very tricky. Additionally, the Vienna Game, Scotch Four Knights, and Spanish Four Knights require deep positional understanding. These problems will not keep your mind engaged by the end of the camp.
