Here's a recent game that I transposed early into a Urusov Gambit (normally reached after 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. Bc4! Nc6 4. Nf3).
After the normally very attacking 17. g4!? the game reaches a closed position, but where white has a lot more room to maneouvre.
Bump.

Nice - I like how you commanded the kingside of the board and how you blocked off any attempts at counterplay by black. The Urusov is one I plan to play a bit more. Thanks for sharing this!

could this be better for black after step14?
winnersp: possibly, except up to move 17 since white doesn't have to play 17. Be6?? trapping his own queen. He could play instead 17. Qc4 when the black king's position is very weak, white has a passed pawn that could become dangerous at some point, and also the bishop pair. It would be a completely different type of game to the one that happened, though.
you are right,Qc4 has better value than Be6,like one pawn advantage~could be very dangerous for black.would be interesting to play ahead and see how black reacts.
