Funny I'm thinking of switching to the Danish gambit (though without the sacrifice of two pawns, playing Nxc3 instead of Bc4 of move four).
I think this is the line covered by Davies in his Gambiteer book, luckily.

I believe that that is the Goring Gambit. Dutch put a link to the GG on one of my recent post. If you play Bc4 first then c3 and then NXc3 (after take) that is the Scotch Gambit.

Good to see that you still like living on the edge! We should let our crazy minds merge over the board soon again. I don't have access to playchess.com for the moment, but pleasantly reside over at FICS as Samuraipawn.
Keep up the good work!

Goring gambit!? That sounds german, and very evil.

BDK,
As an international man of mystery I can't reveal this.

It turns out it is the Danish gambit, not goring. Goring is 1 e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4!?
They often transpose, but while Bc4 is typical for white's fourth, Nxc is also danish, often called the Alekhine variation of the Danish, which is what I'm playing!
