No, you go down a bishop, and remain up two pawns. Equal. Qd2 gives better position though, and lets you win quicker.
Aggressive Response to 4...Nf6 in the Scotch

Well shepi's post 1009 is irrelevant, because most of those moves are bad for white. Once you finish that it'd be nice, but Qd2 is probably better.
No line leads to an advantage for white after 5...Na5.
How about black's awful kingside?
My apologies Joey didn't bother reading the last page and half.
Blacks king is horrible, and if you want to say not castling is a disadvantage, then why is the KG still played?

Yes not being able to castle is a disadvantage.
Then why is the Parham unacceptable, but this is:
In that board white isn't doing bad, an looks like he's about to wreck black's exposed king

Yes, Qxd4 is a blunder, that is why shepi put it in his post, so he could make the parham look bad, Qd2 gives white an obvious advantage.
Actually, I put it in my post because gavinator suggested it.
Yes, it was a blunder, Qd2 has been shown to be better.
Are you gavi? Can you not tell that pawns can defend pieces? I can't believe that some of the lower rated players here claim that you have an exceptional middle game and good tactical skills.

No, after Rxh4 h5, f3 is very good but it doesnt win piece.
Anyways, although Qxd4 leads to an even game, I believe Qd2 is better, then white attack black's exposed and weak kingside.
