This has been analysed by Gustafsson on his DVD on the open games as Black.

Dont know if 4. ...Bb4 is dubious, because I do not know any variations ... Do you have some variations on 4. ...Bc5? If possible I want to play as sharp as possible (I know I have black and that stuff, as I said, as sharp as possible)

Play is complicated but Black is the one risking more - is it worth studying this line? I just looked - there are some games in 1.e4e5-Chesspublishing. But is it worth the trouble as 4...ed4 5.Nd4 Bb4 is equal? - and you could also get this move order: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cd4 4.Nd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Yes for me it is worth the trouble because I hate playing against Scotch Four Knights mainline And no, I can not get this move order because I will play 4. ...Bc5 then Matemax wrote on 05/10/11 at 15:06:38: Play is complicated Thats all I want

	Hello I am searching variants, information, tips and traps in the Morphy variation in the Four Knights (I think the variation is so called, but I am not sure), especially from the black side The variaton goes 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.d4 Bb4!? I want to play this in my next tournament game on Friday, so where do I get information etc? Thanks anyone who will help me!
