The Scotch gambit is a really bad gambit. It is easily refuted.

Not one I play myself, but it’s perfectly sound… one of the better choices if he’s set on gambits.

Ok


Gambits vary in soundness, for sure. Obviously famous examples like the queen’s gambit are so sound we forget that white technically gives up the pawn. The Evan’s gambit that you mentioned was a huge favourite of Gary Kasparov and he had great success with it. I, even today, had a great game in the Budapest gambit. Playing with gambits (provided you’re happy to study them) is a great idea.

I'm fairly new to studying openings. It was mostly a waste of time early on, until I started to understand basic principles, I mean. But now, it's helped me, for the last minth or two approximately.
Anyway, I really like the Rousseau Gambit right now, played as Black against e4. At first, it looks like you don't know how to play, which I find amusing. And it has some exellent traps... some 'obvious moves' by White are actually blunders, the first being exf5 in this position:
Now, just to be bragging, my best game so far with the Rousseau Gambit.
