1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 This move initiates the Scotch Game

3...exd4 4.Bc4 Bb4+ 5.c3

This move initiates the Goring Gambit. In this gambit White invests a pawn in order to gain rapid development. It is important to note that the advance of the c-pawn gives the White Queen access to the b3 square, and from there it can form a strong battery with the bishop at c4.
