When a defender makes an active move, he should be careful that he is not, in fact, moving a piece away that could be a part of his King's protection.
The following Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game illustrates.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4
6...Bd6 7.dxe5 Bxe5
Decided upon too quickly. Better was 7...Be7 or 7...Bb4+.
8.Qd5+ Ke8 9.Qxe5+ Kf8
A little bit bettr might have been 9...Qe7.
10.O-O d6 11.Qg3 Nf6 12.f3 c5
This move makes a target out of his d6 pawn. His next move intensifies this.
13.Bf4 Qa5 14.Bxd6+ Ke8 15.Qe5+
This works. Even more powerful was 15.Qxg7 Qd8 16.Qxh8+ Kd7 17.Qg7+.
15...Kd8 16.Qe7 checkmate
