    Uh-oh. Looks like he got off the hook and swam away. You were so busy worrying about me, you lost him! C'mon, Yereslov! You're a better troll than that! No more beer drinking while you're trolling; you get too distracted!

    Evans Gambit is from the Italian game, and the idea is to make black's dark squared bishop run around, which isn't out in the Scotch, and the pawn placements are different. Otherwise it looks similar yeah.

    I prefer the Scotch game over the Scotch gambit.  It is agressive enough and I am not down a pawn.

    You don't really get the point of the pawn sacrifice then. 

    Just because he prefers 4.Nxd4, that means he doesn't "get" the pawn sac? I don't "get" that reasoning. An awful lot of people play the Scotch Game. Can't be they all don't get the gambit line...... Anyway, nice game by Vivinski. Black's 4...d6 has always seemed kind of passive to me. I like 4...Bc5. Against a gambit, use counter-aggression.
