After a getting out my trusty tournament chess set and having a long think, I have decided against Ng5 with a f7 hunt and will play c3 instead.

Avatar of piphilologist

Well I can't take on c3 because then white has Bxf7+.

So I play Nf6

I was hoping you would play dxc3. I find f7 is a very weak square in the scotch. Anyway, I play 6.cxd4 to regain the pawn while getting good center control.

you were hoping I would voluntarily weaken my king? 

anyway I play Bb4+ here.

we've now transposed to my other kibitzer game.

Hm. Bd2 or Nc3. I guess I'll go with Bd2

Avatar of piphilologist

if here 7...Nxe4?! then 8.Bxb4 Nxb4 9.Bxf7+!

So instead I play 7...Bxd2+

Avatar of MoonlessNight

And I reply Nbxd2. Conditional move: if d5, I play exd5.

7...Nxe4 is not ?! - factly, it's Black's easiest route to total equality.

hm it seems you're right. I have always avoided this line but 8.Bxb4 Nxb4 9.Bxf7+ Kxf7 10.Qb3+ Kf8 11.Qxb4+ Qe7= according to a database

Nxd5 only move

Avatar of pfren

Again 8...d5 was not forced. 8...Nxe4!? is an interesting option, and leads to a more or less equal middlegame.

Avatar of MoonlessNight

I didn't think Nxe4 is bad for black, the king is slightly open, but black has good play. Very inbalanced

I play Qb3

I play Na5

Avatar of MoonlessNight

And I reply Qa4+. I'm pretty sure we are almost put of opening theory, so Kibitzers! Show us your moves!

Nc6 seems pretty forced.

It's easier if you post a diagram with each move.

Yep, played thousalnds of times via the Italian move order. Verdict: completely equal (but maybe not drawn).
