Gambits for U2000 players, part 2

ChessAnalysisOpening
Let's look at the a4 variation of the Scandi b4 gambit

We looked at the Rb1 line in the previous blog post, here we look at the more obscure a4 line in a fresh example game. As a bonus I will also add two games by GM Hikaru Nakamura with the b4 gambit.
