Any articles or videos on weirdly rare 6…Nd7 line in Scotch gambit?
In the Scotch gambit, in the main line with Nf6 e5 d5 Bb5, one very rarely encounters Nd7 instead of Ne4. But engines like Black in all continuations (0-0, Bxc6 or Bf4). Anyone aware of good discussions or videos on this line online? And why it’s not played more often? Since White doesn’t get much good play gambiting the e pawn, it seems Bf4 may be best, but I see only one 2200+ game with Bf4 on Chessbase database.
