Evan's gambit in 2023

C55: Unexplored line in the Italian
How about this idea?
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.Qc2!?
I do not think this gives white any more than the main lines do, but it certainly is an interesting try.

Boden-Kieseritsky Gambit
Exactly how dodgy is the Boden-Kieseritsky Gambit? (1.e4,e5 2.Nf3,Nc6 3.Bc4,Nf3 4.Nc3 - although it can also appear in the Petroff)  Morphy played it a lot and it seems to be one of those rare gambits...

Modern Italian - annotated game sources?
Hello.
I'm thinking of taking up the modern Italian lines (i.e. 4.c3 Nf6 5.d3) as a less theoretical, yet strategically similar, alternative to the Ruy Lopez. I usually try to collect information...
