Road to 2500 - Day 12 - Scotch Opening h4 variation

Yesterday I played only one game and tested the h4 variation in the Scotch Opening.

My opponent suprised me with the early g6 move to prepare Bg7 to attack quickly my e5 pawn. I panicked and played the passive Nd2-f3 manover to give him time to get the initiative.

He got a small edge in the endgame, but I defended well and kept the balance.
