White: Prince Sanguan
Black: Rhal Sol Cruz
Result: 0-1
4 Bc4 Bc5
"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 O-O Nf6
"Another virtue is that after 4... Bc5 5 O-O Black has an extra 5... d6 option. His idea is not 6 c3 dxc3?! - because that transposes into an unattractive Goring. Better is 6... Bg4 with unclear play." Transpo Tricks in Chess
On 7 c3 O-O
According to Rybka, Black gets a slight advantage with 7... h6 or 7... Bg4.
On 9 e5? dxe5
This capture gives Black a slight advantage; destroys White's strong center.
On 11... Ne4?
The correct move is 11... Ng4, winning a precious pawn.
On 13 Nbd2? Nxd2
Wins a pawn and creating a second weakness - doubled pawn.
