Opening Gambit I've just started playing 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d4?!
I'm just wondering where I could find out more and what are some of the most common refutations.

This is covered... ...in Estrin's book "Two Knights Defense",probably the best book ever written on this defense. Don't know if there any "refutations"

The move hardly deserves ?!, and it's not really a gambit since white gets the pawn back fairly easily. Estrin's book is out of print, so you might have a hard time finding a copy, but, to my knowledge, the main line Max Lange Attack runs 4... exd4 5. 0-0 Bc5 6. e5 d5 7. exf6 dxc4 8. Re1+ Be6 9. Ng5 Qd5 10. Nc3 Qf5 11. Nce4 0-0-0 12. g4 Qe5 13. fxg7 Rhg8 14. Nxe6 fxe6 15. Bh6 d3 16. c3 d2 17. Re2 Rd3=. There are several books on the Max Lange and the other variants if you want to learn more.

Better, in my opinion, 5...Nxe4; anyway Black gets an equal game, but no more, while in the 4.Ng5 variation he has interesting chances for a pawn. So, if you want to mark 4.d4 you should mark it "!" :)
