Some time ago I have visited a website with the title A Lazy Player’s Guide to the Scotch Gambit, but it seems that this site has disappeared.
This is a pity because the site gave a nice summary of the main lines of this opening. It is a good opening choice for players who like sharp openings and it’s easy to learn the basic ideas. It didn’t cover everything, but it described the most played lines and contained just the material most club players need. Now I’ll try to produce a similar post about the 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Bc4 Bc5 variation of this Scotch Gambit and are going to learn you in one of the next lessons how you can make such an opening analysis on your own.
If someone knows where the Lazy Player’s site can be found, please add the URL to the comments.

Update: Michael Goeller has provided a link to the original Lazy Player’s site by means of the Wayback machine. This wayback machine enables us to find web pages archived from 1996 to a few months ago. This is the original archived Lazy Player’s Guide.

If you want to read more about this variation A glass of Scotch may be a good place to start.
