Most of what needs to be said about Black's defense in the following game has already been said in an earlier post, "Still Worth Knowing", but I thought I'd touch on it again, with the game being played being relatively early in this new year – the first example that I have seen for 2012, the first win for White...
lekar - grapehyacynth
blitz, FICS, 2012
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6
The Semi-Italian Opening.
4.c3
One of a number of responses possible, including 4.0-0, 4.Nc3 and 4.d4.
4...Na5
Possibly thinking of winning the "two Bishops," but actually asking for the "Jerome treatment." Either 4...Nf6 or 4...d6 were more prudent.
5.Bxf7+ Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Ke8
After the better 6...Ke6, White has 7.Qh5, anyway, with a strong game.
7.Qh5+ Black resigned
