009 Dutch Defense

This variation involves sharp play and early queen activity, with White aiming for quick development and tactical opportunities against Black's position. The Staunton Gambit leads to unbalanced positions where both sides have chances for active play and dynamic tactics.

Been studying the #ScotchGame and trying it out against one of the computer opponents on Chess.com, but after 4. Nxd4 I keep coming up against 4. ...Bc5. It's not a move in the Main Line, so my assumption is that there's an easy defence against it, but everything I try seems to fall flat. Any ideas?
