Whatup, Your play was good, its your opponents that is in question here.
Aggressive Response to 4...Nf6 in the Scotch
Was that chess? It looked a little like chess...I especially liked the part where the bishop was hanging on d4 for like 16 moves and nobody noticed. I liked move 16 when black can play Qxe4+ and win the world but both sides missed it.
Your post doesn't make sense. Re1?? was bad, but that is it.
I like this tack. If all else fails, use politics, race, and/or religion to get pointless threads locked.
Bruce Benedict posts some of my favorite quotes of all times.
And by the way, Gavinator:
The Ruy is... Solid. I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner. The Ruy gets closed games where you're not doing much. Beginners should play something like the Italian game, nice and open, let's them castle, then get to the midgame. Then they can start making mistakes, and learning from them, and getting better.-Gavinator
So why don't you play the Italian?
Because 3...Nf6 4. Ng5 pwns black's face off, but after 3...Bc5 it's usually a giuoco pianissimo, which literally means "quietist game".
also the "quitest game" tha is a contradictary statement, look at the games where morphy played against it.
No actually it's called the quietist game because it is the quietist game, just because one of the best players of all time destroyed tons of players that were worse then him while using that opening doesn't make it aggressive.
3...Nf6 4.Ng5:
Morphy had some faith in black's line: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1224561
And 3...Bc5, what's wrong with an opening with a strange name?

By the way, it is aggressive. I get the feeling you don't care about positional play, open lines, active piece play, and just care about attack.
Yes, but they are all stronger than you too... They are stronger than any of us, that is why they're world champions...
I'm not a world champion chess player, and in that 3... Bc5 game white runs into problems if black plays Nxe4.
I didn't say they were weaker.
Here is a recommendation for the King's Indian Attack (and with a name that has attack in it, Gavinator should appreciate it):
"Club players and home enthusiasts often ask me to suggest an opening system for white which is safe, yet aggressive, and does not require a superb memory and months of intense learning. In such cases, I invariably recommend the King's Indian Attack. In this system white's first four or five moves are fixed (1.Nf3, 2.g3, 3.Bg2, 4.0-0, 5.d3) and white can develope in isolation, without devoting any attention at all to how black is proceeding. In the middle game White has plenty of opportunity to unleash an attack based on either c4, or e4, advancing in the center..."

The reason it was called the quiet game and quietest game was because they were comparing them to the King's Gambit.

Have you tried playing the Italian Gambit 4.d4
The KG is far from an automatic loss for white when played, if there is a line that outright refutes it, then please post it, you could make millions.
The KG may give black shot's at equality, but he must know the theory, White has great attacking possibilites with the open lines he creates, and the Kingside isn't as weak as it seems.

The Kg is automatic loss if played right by black.
How did you mess up?

I know I would be fine, but it's not very aggressive, as I said it is called the quietist game.

Plenty of open lines.
I am talking about the Parham.
