i really like the scotch opening and i've seen thechesswebsite's video on the scotch opening and on both options that you named, thechesswebsite says it's okay to go ahed and trde off the knights so black would have doubled up pawns.
is that a valid move or should i just keep the tension between the pieces?
I prefer to keep the tension. However, trading pieces seems to be an acceptable continuation.

I'm sorry, I meant if black takes c5. THen white dxe5, can't black go Kxe5? @ 1:05

@derDenker1992 I'm sorry, I still don't understand. White has no piece on c5 for black to take (@1:05). Maybe you can post the opening moves.

If black pushes c6 and white takes e5 can't black do Ke5?

@derDenker1992 Can you give me a time stamp.

@KensOfficeUSA Black would lose it's castling option, but it still turns out to a pretty even game.
