My Timeouts look high at 29.73% but they came in two unfortunate circumstances
Firstly moving house from one location to another took all of my budget t keep a roof over my head .!
Secondly :- My Android short circuted and it took a week to borrow a new one '!
Other tahan those two calamaties I've played every match to a conclusion Win ,Lose or Draw'
Just to let you know, you can always plug those moves into Google and it will spit out the opening.
Thanks Everyone! - Always know that I'll get the best help on here 
4 bc4 is a good move , at b5 it can be annoyed by pawns losing tempo in a game where white is prob a pawn down. 1 e4 e5 2 knf3 knc6 3 d4 exd4 4 bc4
It's not Scotch yet, white has a myriad of option, from 4.c3 to 4.Bc4, as well as some lesser known continuations.
yeah i got one or two ideas v evans and im only an average,(at best) player
The Evans gambit has not been destroyed, it gives equal chances, I think that Lasker pointed out how it should be played from the black side of the board.

No bro. d4 is the move that defines the Scotch Game.
and I've never been accused of harassing anyone, nevertheless apparently the pawn ending is a bit better for black thus avoiding an early queen exchange is a good idea

likewise 4.c3 defines the Grob gambit
He is the one who popularized it.

Grob??
What you mean is the Goring Gambit.
Still, the Goring is a variation of the Scotch Game. Playing the Goring does not mean it's no longer a Scotch. In the same way, playing the Yugoslav Attack does not mean it's no longer a Sicilian Dragon.

Yes you are right, Grob is characterized by the first move 1.g4, lapsus, Goring obviously.
It does not look like the Scotch to me.
