Italian Gambit
The Italian Gambit is a chess opening that begins with the moves: 1. e4 e52. Nf3 Nc63. Bc4 Bc54. d4 It is often played as an alternative to the quiet and closed lines of the Giuoco Piano or Giuoco Pianissimo openings. Black can:
* take with the pawn (4...exd4, a transposition to the Scotch Gambit, usually leading to the Max Lange Attack);
* take with the knight (4...Nxd4), which is considered weak since it allows the strong 5.Nxe5, attacking f7 with the bishop and knight; or
* take with the bishop (4...Bxd4), which is considered best.
