Abstract: We calculated two--photon exchange effects for elastic electron--proton scattering at high momentum transfers. The corresponding nucleon Compton amplitude is defined by two space--like virtual photons that appear to have significant virtualities. We make predictions for a) a single--spin beam asymmetry, and b) a single--spin target asymmetry or recoil proton polarization caused by an unpolarized electron beam.
