Are you saying 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 is what you would like to play, but you are concerned about 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Bc5?
Why not just play 3.d4 anyways. If black takes, you play d4 with advantage. So they'll probably go for a KG-declined style position, which you must be experienced with after playing the Vienna Gambit.
Can you clarify your question a little bit?
Yeah you are right. I would like to play 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 but I am worried about 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Bc5. So what your saying is that I should still play 3.f4 and play a KG-Declined position? And also could you pls tell me more about the KG-Declined position please? (sorry I am no where near experienced with the KG-declined positions!)
Just play F4 right away
As white you play e4, Nc3, f4, Bc4, d3, and then (I think) Qe2, Bd2, o-o-o, and potentially f5, h3, g4, Rdg1, g5, h4, etc, and win with a kingside attack.
I don't play this, so I'm just going by what I read once in a book. You should strive to not allow black play ...d5 (this is why Nc3 and Bc4 are important). Also, you should only play f5 for white after black has castled kside. Also, in theory, you definitely should not play f5 if black has ...d5 available as a counterpunch.
I suppose that's a primer! Remember that your light squared bishop is awesome in this opening. Remember that the f7 pawn will be pinned, so sometimes you can play g5-g6, and then Qh5 and mate on h7. (haha) it's almost like black doesn't get to make any moves except castling, at least when I type out your attack for you.

Hi everyone..
I am a person that loves to play gambits which is why I play the vienna gambit as white after 2.nf6. I have noticed that many of my opponents play 2..Bc5 instead which gets me really confused. Do any of you out there know a sharp line for white after 2..Bc5? It does not neceserally need to be a gambit.. just a sharp aggresive line for white.. Pls Post Quickly! (I have a tounoment coming up with all of the 2..Bc5 players in it!)
