The Moeller Attack

Hello everyone,

lately I am not very happy with playing one of the Main-Lines of the Scotch Gambit, which may arise after.

1.e4 e5, 2.Nf3 Nc6,3.d4 exd4, 4.Bc4 Bc5!, 5.c3 Nf6, 6.cxd4 Bb4+, 7.Bd2 Nxe4! ... Black can force a dead-drawn endgame there.

so I thought of modifying my repetoire and started to look at the Moeller Attack. Now I wonder, is that a reliable way to keep the position more imbalanced in the middlegame?

I don't understand. U play scotch gambit but u want to avoid the first variation u give.

Why not 7.Nc3 and u go into the Moeller attack?

Personnally, I think Moeller attack is unsound but it's your choice.

If u want something stronger, have a look at this line :

I've only ever played a moeller out of an Italian, I wasn't aware it could be played from the Scotch. 

That is a nice forum
