Dear readers, these my new posts about White's advantage and wins in such chess games are dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Alonzo Wheeler Jerome's publications with 4.Bxf7+ in Giuoco Piano. Now the world chess history knows a lot of cases, where White got an advantage or won here against grandmasters and other extremely strong defenders!
We should start from the game
where after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Black has played 4...Kf8 intentionally - to give "a handicap" to his opponent. After 5.Bb3 White got a large advantage. Then after not careful mutual play 5...Nf6 6.Nc3 d6 7.d3 Bg4 8.h3 Bh5 9.O-O Nd4 10.g4 Nxg4 11.Nxd4 Bxd4 White could get an extra piece with the trivial possibility 12.hxg4!. It's not the most interesting case for us, but the first of Black's sacrifices is, in my opinion, slightly similar to the following famous one.
Mr. Milner - Joseph Henry Blackburne, England, 1884:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6 7.Qxe5 d6 . White accepted this Rook sacrifice 8.Qxh8 and got a serious advantage by this way. Thus, Black could choose a much more solid known plan instead, without a sacrifice of his Rook: 6...Kf8 7.Qxe5 d6.
Further, we'll remind the first of two games between the following grandmasters:
Top GM Hikaru Nakamura - GM Dmitrij Kollars (3 min blitz, Chess.com, 2020),
where after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.Qf5+ Kd6 8.f4 Qh4+ 9.g3 Qf6 10.fxe5+ White got an enormous advantage on time, because Black played too slowly. As a result, later Black started to make mistakes, including the key blunder, and lost the game by checkmate. I think, after the possible 10.Qh5 Black could lose more rapidly, because it requires more analysis to find a good answer here.
Further, we'll remind the game
NM Koosha Jaferian - Top GM Hikaru Nakamura ( Mrkooshaj - GMHikaruOnTwitch, 3 min blitz, Chess.com, 2021),
where after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.Qf5+ Kd6 8.f4 Qf6 9.fxe5+ Qxe5 10.Qxe5+ Kxe5 11.b4 Bd4 12.c3 Bb6 13.d4+ Kxe4 14.O-O Nf6 15.Bg5 d6 16.Nd2+ Black has made a key blunder 16...Kd3, so White got the won position as a result of 17.Rf3+ and won this game extremely rapidly.
