1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
7.Qxe5 d6 8.Qxh8 Qh4 9.O-O Bh3
Perhaps Black now expects 10.gxh3, when 10...Nf6 11.Qxa8 Qxh3 12.Qd8 Qg4+ 13.Kh1 Qf3+ 14.Kg1 Qg4+ etc. would lead to a draw by repetition.
10.Qc3
Surprise! The move is not as expected.
Realizing that he is down the exchange and two pawns, Black resigned.
Indeed, according to The Database, White has scored 13 - 2 - 0 from this position.
