Originally posted by Yugayou're right... taking with the knight IS playable though.. with perfect play the game often balances materially and/or draws. Taking with the bishop and making the check is less tactical but probably the better move.
What if 5. Bxf7+ ?
Here is an article that evaluates 5. d4, which the author says is "a move often ignored, but at least as good as 5.Bxf7. Both moves yield White an extra pawn and leave Black's king stranded in the centre (e7), but 5.d4 also results in an open d-file." The analysis is worth checking as the author concludes the line by stating that "white has a solid extra pawn."

It's certainly fun to play, but after 7 Kg1 I thought it was over. I don't think this would hold up too well against a higher orders player, but it would certainly give my mates a fright otb
