Hello everyone-
This is the Italian Game:Scotch Gambit. I actually looked for a variation (on chess.com) that allowed black the option of not capturing d4...I have always been interested in this opening but never really studied it...at any rate white has castled and now black must respond...lets play and see what happens....good luck.
BTW-this is an invitation only tournament.
