1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nc6 4. Nxc6 dxc6 5. d3 Bc5 6. h3 $6 {This is a
very understandable move to avoid Trap 2 and to deny Black the opportunity to
play Ng4. However, it does allow Black to play an interesting piece sac which
may not be fully sound but is great fun, particularly in Blitz chess and can
lead to the White king being chased around in the middle of the board.
Unfortunately, for White, we are not playing 'King of the Hill' (see Bulletin
No.41)!} ({Some White players may try} 6. Be3 Bxe3 7. fxe3 {to reduce Black's
attacking threats and whilst this might be the case, after} Qd6 $1 {Black has
very good compensation.}) 6... Bxf2+ $5 (6... Nxe4 $5 {might also be
entertaining to try in Blitz play! e,g.} 7. dxe4 Bxf2+ 8. Ke2 Qh4 {White is
better with exact play but Black will be the one having the fun!}) 7. Kxf2
Nxe4+ 8. Kf3 O-O {And Black has excellent chances despite what the chess
engines might say. In any case, it is very enjoyable to play! e.g.} 9. Kxe4 $6
Qh4+ $1 10. g4 $2 ({If} 10. Kf3 Qh5+ 11. g4 Bxg4+ 12. hxg4 Qxh1+ 13. Kf2 f5 14.
g5 Rae8 15. Qf3 Qh2+ 16. Qg2 Qh4+ 17. Qg3 Qd4+ 18. Kg2 f4 {and Black's attack
continues.}) 10... Qf2 $1 {The threat is Re8 mate!} 11. Qf3 f5+ {and it is
game over e.g.} 12. gxf5 Bxf5+ 13. Kf4 Be4+ $1 *
