Another Idea

Black's seventh move in the following game appears almost 50 times in The Database, with the outcome overwhelmingly in White's favor. Still, after eleven moves, it is hard to see the game as an "easy" win for the first player; after all, Black can come up with some counter-play, can't he?

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Nc3 Nf6 5.Bxf7+

The Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit.


5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.d4 Bb4 

Not best, but it doesn't lose.


8.dxe5 Nxe4 9.Qd5+ Ke8 10.Qxe4 Bxc3+ 11.bxc3 Qe7 

White is a pawn ahead, but it is an isolated, doubled pawn. Certainly Black can think up an idea to work against White's shattered Queenside.


12.0-0 Qa3 13.Bxa3 Black resigned


Okay, maybe another idea.
