I think its the Scotch Game. And 3. ... ed 4. c3 is the Scotch Gambit. Correct me if I'm wrong
thanks alot. I have a few more openings that I use a bit that I'll post here soon.
The scotch game always leads into a crazy set-up. I love it!
mxdplay4 is right! It's the Scotch Gambit 3...exd4 4. c3 in preparation for Bc4 and Qb3.

I don't play the Scotch as white but I like playing against it as black. It gives both sides a chance to get all their pieces out, lively play, not too much theory to learn - so not many tricks to watch out for.
And best of all, because of the latter point most of the times the best player wins, instead of the best-prepared one.

3...exd4 4.Bc4 Scotch Gambit (but can transpose to 2 Knights or Giucco and various other black defences)
3...exd4 4.c3 is the Goring Gambit is it not?? I mean, this can even transpose to Danish gambit type positions.
I guess they are related and have similiar open game themes.
