"Italian Game", Chess.com, 2012
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6
The Semi-Italian Opening.
4.d4 exd4 5.Nxd4 Bc5
Possibly thinking of a transposition to the Scotch, but, as I've written elsewhere about White, Even the conservative player should be thinking "Jerrrrrrroooooommmmmme!"
6.Bxf7+ Kxf7 7.Qh5+ g6 8.Qxc5
The Database shows White scoring 78% from this position (130 games).
8...Qe7 9.Qxe7+ Kxe7 10.Nxc6+ bxc6
11.Nc3 Ba6 12.Be3 d6 13.0-0-0 Nf6 14.f3 Rab8
Giving up a pawn for an attack, but not enough comes of it.
15.Bxa7 Rb7 16.Be3 Rhb8 17.b3 g5 18.h4 g4 19.Bxh6 gxf3 20.gxf3 Nh5
Now Black's game goes all a-kilter.
21.Rhg1 Kf6 22.Rg4 Rb6 23.Rdg1 d5 24.exd5 cxd5 25.Nxd5+ Kf5 26.Nxb6 Rxb6 27.Rg5+ Kf4 28.Rxh5+ Kxf3 29.Rf5+ Ke4 30.Rf4+ Ke3
The game continues, but not for much longer.
