Evan's gambit accepted with the knight?

Got some games here and in person with this rare version of evan's gambit (me playing white). 

Is the MOST logic and convenient response here simply just taking the center pawn with Nxe5 right?, or is there another "best" move? O.O

5...Qf6 might be good.

Yes, this is a black's trap and 5. Nxe5? is a mistake cuz of 5...Qf6! explorer.pnglessons.pnggrin.png

The correct move is 5. c3.

Yes and, after 5. c3 Nc6, it becomes the McDonnell Defense (with the bishop on c5) of the Evans Gambit Accepted which is more favorable for white than the main line (with the bishop on a5). happy.png

Indeed- and this is the reason Bxb4 is preferrable to Nxb4.

ola   maestro recien veo esta pregunta motivos  salen sobrando  pero yo no le veo problema ya que cenar gratis siempre sale caro en mencion al caballo que solo tiene una sola escapada c6 ai que yo optaria por jugar al correte caballo o sea c3
