One move a day (4)

I also like dxc. This is looking good for white.

1.e4.......e5
2.Nc3.....Nf6
3.Bc4.....Bb4
4.f4.......bxc3
5.dxc3

I don't like black's position here, but as Bifrost showed, taking the e-pawn is a bad idea. Therefore I'm gonna say 5. ... Nc6

Well, I'm going to say 5. ... 0-0. If 6. fxe5 then black replies with 6. ... Nxe4 with the idea of Qh4 and now 7. Qd5 is no threat.

1.e4.......e5
2.Nc3.....Nf6
3.Bc4.....Bb4
4.f4.......bxc3
5.dxc3...Nxe4

5. ... Nxe4?? Disaster for black. Before Bifrost gets it I'm going to say 6. Qd5 😛

Or 6.Bxf7+ Kxf7 7.Qd5+ .....

if 6.Qd5, why not 6... Qh4+?

7. g3 then. Black can't play 7. ... Nxg3 because of the mate threat on f7.

That's what I thought, but 8. Qxf7+ Kd8 9. ?

lol, I thought I was the only one that posts in these move ideas far too quickly 🙂

Bxf7+
Not quite up to standard, jockmcgee... tut tut.
