Not every new defensive idea in an opening is successful. The following game is a good example - but the game is played at a blitz time control, and Black has another great chance. Apparently time pressure settles things down, though, and White goes on to win.
Tiny25 - Akatian
3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2021
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6
It is tempting to play this pawn move in response to the check by the Queen, but Black must be ready to surrender the Rook.
7.Qxe5 d6
Blackburne's defense. It leads to complicated play, as Black attacks the enemy King and works to trap the enemy Queen. White captures a Rook, and has different ways for his Queen to escape.
This is a 3-minute game, which also has an impact.
8.Qxh8 Bd7
A novel and interesting idea - there is only one other game with it in The Database - but it doesn't do the job. The consistent idea is 8...Qh4.
9.Qxh7+ Kf8 10.Qxg6 Be8
The idea, but White's four extra pawns (three connected and passed) added to the advantage of the exchange give him a clear advantage.
11.Qf5+ Bf7
Or 11...Nf6 12.d3 Bd7 13.Bh6+ Kf7 14.Qf4 Qe7 15.Nc3 Rg8 16.Bg5 Bd4 17.Nd5 Qe6 18.Nxc7 Qe7 19.O-O-O Be5 20.Qf3 Rxg5 21.Nd5 Qe6 22.Nxf6 Bxf6 23.Kb1 Qe5 24.c3 Bg4 25.Qe3 Bxd1 26.Rxd1 Rxg2 27.Qxa7 Rxf2 28.Qxb7+ Ke6 29.Qc8+ Kf7 30.Qd7+ Be7 31.Rg1 Qxh2 32.Rg7+ Kxg7 33.Qxe7+ Rf7 34.Qg5+ Kf8 35.Qd8+ Kg7 36.Qg5+ Kf8 37.Qd8+ Kg7 38.Qg5+ draw Star10sj- CheesE220, lichess.org, 2021
12.Nc3 Nh6 13.Qh7 Qf6
14.d3
Oh, no. With 14.d4 Ng4 15.Bh6+ Ke8 16.O-O-O White's uneasy King would find safety.
14...Bh5
Bad luck - blame it on the clock.
Instead, Black had 14...Qxf2+ 15.Kd1 Bh5+ 16.g4 Bxg4+ 17.Ne2 Qxe2 checkmate
15.Qxh6+ Qxh6 16.Bxh6+ Black resigned
