For anybody here that is experienced with the Bishops Gambit, what do you do when black plays an early c6? For example:
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Nc3 c6 5. Nf3 Nxe4 6. Nxe4 d5 7. Bxd5 cxd5
This line comes from the third game I played using the King's Gambit, so the line is likely very shaky. (I don't actually know though since I usually play the King's Knight Gambit)
