Originally posted by sevenstar4.c3 is equally acceptable. However 4.b4 is a nice line known as the Evan's Gambit where White ends up in the same position as main line Giuoco Piano, with an extra move in hand!

Originally posted by sevenstarWell, each to his own, it really depends on personal preference. I prefer the Evans Gambit to the main line as it is less well known.
