4. Bc4 is unsound, but I"m sure that's not the point of this game =P
you deserve kudos for 15. Be3 - a forced move that preventes the rather treacherous 15... c5
you should post a possible continuation after 21.. Kxf7 22. Qxh7
well, here's mine xD

Excellent!

4. Bc4 is hardly unsound. The Scotch Gambit scores very well in a number of databases I have examined. In general, it transposes directly into favorable variations of the Giuoco Piano or the Two Knights defense. I didn't think I needed to post a continuation, the play is practically forced.
12 ... f5 offers relatively equal play, but Black's positional weaknesses tend to offer White a small edge with accurate, sharp play, and the passed e-pawn can decide in some lines.
Hey y'all. This was a particularly enjoyable tactical beatdown in a Scotch transposition to the Two Knights defense.
