Scotch Game - Mieses Variation - Conclusion

The Mieses Variation is an opening that challenges both White and Black, but also gives both the opportunity to play for the full point. This variation is hardly suitable for players who are still quite new to chess. Without a deep understanding of chess, it will be difficult to do justice to the positions that arise. The variation is hardly playable without knowledge and understanding of the specific opening theory. 

This variation makes above-average demands, both in terms of the ability to calculate concretely and accurately and in terms of the ability to correctly evaluate the positions that arise. But it is precisely because of these qualities that the Mieses Variation is an excellent choice for ambitious players who want to work on their chess.
