Von der lasa Gambit - Center Game Accepted

The Von der lasa Gambit is an aggressive line in the Center Game Accepted opening where white immediately brings the bishop to c4 and attacks the weakness on f7.

It begins with the moves: 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.Bc4

The three main variations covered in this video are 3...Nf6 and 3...Bb4+. The other common move for black is to play 3...Nc6. White would respond with 4. Nf3 and this is the Scotch Gambit. I have done another video on the Scotch Gambit that you can find https://www.thechesswebsite.com/scotc...
