Scotch Gambit Traps Help :)
Sort:
I can't complete this drill. https://www.chess.com/drills/practice/scotch-gambit-trap
I ALWAYS lose. It's different than the setups I've seen on videos on youtube for the Scotch Gambit.
I guess the drill wants me to win the game but I'm just not seeing it. It always boils down to a huge material advantage for black no matter what way I play it.
Any tips because I'm about ready to tip the king and just call it.

Black has many ways to be at least equal vs the Scotch Gambit unfortunately 
You can always surprise your opponent by playing Nxd4

Qd5 wins. There's not really much more to it...
Thanks, James.
However, the drill doesn't end with that move and the only success criteria I've found so far is to win the match, not just exchange queens. I've concluded that being a beginner this just may be out of my range at the moment. I did manage to run it to a draw. The end game seemed tedious and repetitive.
I'd love to hear any tips or analysis on my play that you may have.
Thanks again.

Yeah I realised the drill doesn't end but given that you said Black always ended up material ahead, I thought you may have missed Qd5, which wins at least a piece for white (as per your latest game).
53.Rf5+ swapping rooks should be a pretty simple win, although there are obviously possible improvements earlier on.
That helps quite a bit. 
It does seem pretty late in the contest, however. What IS this drill trying to teach me? Scotch setup? Black's F7 square is a weakness? If so, it's done it's job admirably. But if it's trying to show me a trap as the title hints at, I'm still not seeing it and thus it fails. Just my 2 cents worth.
Thank you for taking the time.

Yes but black made a horrible blunder with 6...Be7??, the correct move is 6...Ba5! 
Yesterday I was shown some really cool scotch gambit traps, like the bishop sacrifice and some counter gambits where you can take a knight with a pawn and need to promote to knight, I forgot to write them down, I will try to get them next week but maybe someone can show some on here?
