The Scotch opening - 4...Nxd4

I just love when black moves 4...Nxd4, it gives white complete control of the center.

Any comments? 🙂

Don´t you have any interest in this? It´s very good to know how to play as white when black takes on d4 with his knight as it´s very common, especially players at lower levels.

I like this, too. It's one of the only reasons I play the Scotch. I don't know why so many people play this move, as after 5. Qxd4 black has nothing useful.
