R4 FM Bersamina vs Sol Cruz
Result: 1-0
4 Bc4 Bc5
"Here, Black's most popular responses are 4... Nf6 (which transposes to the Two Knights Defence after 5 e5), and 4... Bc5 (transposing to the main line Giuoco Piano after 5 c3 Nf6)." - Chess Openings for White
"The simplest reply is 4... Nf6 which transposes into the Two Knights. This is a good choice for Black who likes to face the Max Lange (5 O-O Bc5) or the anti-Lange (5 O-O Nxe4)." - Transpo Tricks in Chess
"The alternatives for timid souls are 4...Be7 and 4...d6 when a Hungarian Defence position will arise if White now recaptures on d4." - The Kibitzer, http://www.chesscafe.com/text/kibitz74.pdf
"So the bottom line of the Scotch Gambit , 4 Bc4, is that 4... Bb4+?! is to be avoided, 4...Nf6 is the safe choice and 4... Bc5 is the most double-edged." - Transpo Tricks in Chess
On 5 ... d6.
"Moves like 5 ... d6 or 5 ... Bb6 leave White with a strong center and a clear edge." - Chess Openings for White
Theory gives 5 ... Nf6 6 cxd4 Bb4+ a) 7 Bd2 Bxd2 8 Nbxd2 d5, b) 7 Nc3 Nxe4 8 O-O Bxc3:
Steinitz vs Lasker World Championship 1896
Dzindzichashvili vs Karpov 1988
Fritz vs Anand 1999
And if after 5 ... Nf6, White continued with 6 e5, the correct play is 6 ... d5:
Steinitz vs Lasker World Championship 1894
Vachier-Lagrave vs Eljanov 2007
Xie vs Delchev 2008
Socko vs Carlsen 2009
