Four Knights Game: Scotch Variation, Belgrade Gambit
Overview
Four Knights Game: Scotch Variation, Belgrade Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO C47, Open Games). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.

It begins with 9 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. d4 exd4 5. Nd5 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Four Knights Game: Scotch Variation Accepted, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
