After seeing your article on Utterly Fascinating, I decided to play the 5.d4 line as well, but my opponent took with the bishop instead of the pawn. Still an interesting game.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.d4!?

5...Bxd4
This may be better than 5...exd4
[See "Brilliant but not sound".]
6.c3 Bc5?
This gives me the piece back.
6...Bb6 should be played, then I may play 7.Qb3+.
7.Qd5+ Ke8 8.Qxc5 Qe7
9.Qc4 Nf6 10.0-0 d6 11.Be3 Be6 12.Qb5 Qd7
12...Nxe4 13.Qxb7
13.Ng5
13.Qxb7 Rb8 14.Qa6 Rxb2
13...a6?!
Now not as effective as I will have more threats and win another pawn; perhaps 13...Nd8
14.Qxb7 Rb8 15.Qxa6 Ke7
Not 15...Rxb2 16.Nxe6 Qxe6 17.Qxc6+ winning a piece.
16.Nxe6 Kxe6 17.Qc4+ Ke7 18.a4
Passed pawns must be pushed.
18...Rxb2 19.a5 Ra8 20.a6 Ng4 21.Bg5+ Nf6
Not 21...Ke8?? 22.Qg8#
22.Nd2 h6 23.Bxf6+ gxf6 24.Nf3 Rb6
25.Nh4 Qe6 26.Nf5+ Kd7 27.Qd3 h5 28.Ne3 Qb3 29.Nd5 Qb5
30.Qh3+! Kd8 31.Qe6 Rbb8 32.Qg8+ Kd7 33.Qf7+ Kd8 34.Qf8+
34.Nxf6 may have been quicker, but I was in time pressure with 30 seconds left.
34...Kd7 35.Qg7+ Kd8 36.Nxf6 Ne7 37.Qf8+ Qe8 38.Qxe8 checkmate
