Black's short-sightedness (in a blitz game, it has to be said) led quickly to a lost position, but he probably should have played one more move, just to see what would happen.

3 2 blitz, lichess.org, 2025
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6
Hoping to chase away the enemy Queen, but actually inviting her in.
8.Qxe5+ Kf7 9.Qxc5 Nxe4 10.Qd5+
Black resigned
While White is up a pawn, Stockfish 16.1 evaluates the position as being about 4 pawns better for him - no doubt due to greater King safety and an active Queen.
If I had been playing Black, however, I would have played on a bit longer - say, 10...Kf6, just to see if White would err and take the attacked Knight.
Of course, 11.Qxe4 would be met with 11...Re8, winning the Queen and turning the advantage over to Black.. After the correct 11.O-O, I would resign.
