Dangerous Bc4!!!

Sort:

White has a 1-pawn advantage and Positional Advantage!!

Absurd
1. Bc4 isn't an amazing move, and to suggest that it deserves twenty exclamation points is more than a little naive. It's solid, but not stellar.

 

2. 5. ... Nxd5 is the bad move rather than 3. Bc4 being the good one. It allows the Fried Liver Attack (6. Nxf7 Kxf7 7. Qf3+ Ke6, which is how it typically goes, with Black preserving the piece advantage in material for an awkward defensive position), as well as the 6. d4 Lolli Attack, which does offer White some advantage.

  

Might I suggest curbing your enthusiasm a little.

why wouldn't black just play Bc5 playing the Guioco Pianissimo opening?

 I agree with your assessment after 7...Ke8, but what about 7...Ke6 ?

Some dont play 3....Bc5 because they fear 4b4 !?  the evans gambit .

After 3. Bc4 Black also can play 3. ... Be7 - Hungarian Defense in order

to prevent sharp theoretical variants.

Also 5....Nd4 is very playable but I believe theory favors 5....Na5 but after 5....Nxd5?! 6 d4 ! is stronger than 6 Nxf7

 Yes, it is also possible. But I prefer two knights defense.


 two knights is good option i agree.

The assessment of the final position shows a serious lack of chess understanding. White stands with a full extra pawn, black's king is unable to castle, and black has no particular threats for white to worry about. This is not a slight advantage, this is a winning advantage.
