1 e4 Nf6 2 Bc4 Ne4 (2...e5 makes the game a Bishop's Opening) 3 Bf7 Kf7 4 Qh5 and White soon corrals the knight with a lively game in progress!

both play it wrong perelshteyne says b-d2. and whites o.k

White does not give up any material in the above line. After White wins the knight, then both sides have captured a minor piece and a pawn.
