Cheers (I thought it would be 4.Ng5...fits in quite well with the Evans Gambit) but I'm not to sure many good players will play 5...Nxd5.....5.Na5 or 5.Bc5!? are beter options

Looking at your game I think 6.d4! is even stronger!

Maybe, but I can't resist trying to get the black king into the middle early.
I like the FLA as black as well & after:
1.e4...e5
2.Nf3...Nc6
3.Bc4...Nf6
4.Ng4
I tend to go 4...Bc5, which can really open a can of worms!

white to play

This is called the Traxler Gambit (or Wilkes-Barre Gambit) variation of The Two Knights Defence........Very wild chess!!

I use the games explorer to find out if that person plays 3...Bc5 if not I'll usually play the kings gambit against them. unless I feel like playing the two knights against them.

Yes, playing in it at the moment. The Fried Liver Attack can be quite devastating without careful play. 🙂

That moves sends me to sleep!

I prefer 4.Ng5 or 4.d4 something exciting!

But if it works for you, fair enough!
