scotch gambit vs evans gambit
Sort:
For someone rated around 1600 rapid…
Matter of taste. The Scotch is more difficult to avoid and you usually get the pawn back. The Evan's gives you plenty of long term pressure though and a lot of lower rated players might have more trouble with that. I'd rather just play the Scotch proper than the Scotch gambit though.

Proper just refers to the Scotch game (not the gambit line)
The Scotch (not the gambit) is a world class opening that can get very sharp.

Exactly my opponents have followed the Carlsen-Fabiano game many times in that line...

I play the Scotch gambit and, at that level, is gold.
Most part of people don't follow the mainline and you are in a superior position in less than 10 moves.

I also am trying to decide on this. I intend to use it against 1500-1700 rated players FIDE

Both of them are good, if you like the gambit lifestyle.
