"Intuition" has its place in chess, as long as it doesn't totally replace analysis. How many times have we read that a chess master looked briefly at a position on the board and then commented "The Knight obviously must go here"?
For club players, there is a saying to apply to their own intuition: Trust, but verify.

5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.d4
7...Re8
A reasonable alternative to 7...Bd6; both keep Black's advantage.
8.dxc5
The correct capture, although the alternative has been seen: 8.dxe5 Nxe4 (8...Rxe5 9.Bf4 Re7 10.e5 d6 11.Nd5 Nxd5 12.Qxd5+ Be6 13.Qf3 Kg8 14.0-0-0 Bxa2 15.b3 Rf7 16.e6 Rf6 17.Rhe1 Qe7 18.Qd5 c6 19.Qc4 b5 20.Qe4 d5 21.Qe5 Re8 22.Qb2 Rxe6 23.Be3 Bxe3+ 24.fxe3 Rxe3 25.Rf1 Qg5 26.Qxa2 Rxb3+ 27.Rd2 Rbe3 28.h4 Black forfeited on time, yorgos - Castled, FICS, 2009) 9.Qd5+ Kf8 10.Nxe4 d6 11.Nxc5 Rxe5+ 12.Qxe5 dxe5 13.Be3 Kg8 14.0-0 b6 15.Rad1 Qe8 16.Ne4 Bf5 17.f3 Qc6 18.Nc3 Bxc2 19.Rc1 Bd3 20.Rfd1 Be2 21.Nxe2 Qa4 22.Nc3 Qb4 23.b3 Qa3 24.Rc2 Qb4 25.Nd5 Qf8 26.Rxc7 Rc8 27.Ne7+ Kh8 28.Rxc8 Qxc8 29.Nxc8 e4 30.Rd8 checkmate, ljar - pyronaut, FICS, 2005.

9.0-0 Kg8 10.Bg5 Re5
This double attack (pawn at c5, Bishop at g5) is superficially attractive, but it is an example of sending a Rook to do a pawn's job. Better was 10...d6
11.f4 Rxg5
A panic reaction.
Black had to continue as planned with the lesser capture, 11...Rxc5, and realize that after 12.e5 it was time to give the piece back with 12...Nxe5 13.fxe5 Rxe5, preparing to defend the pawn-down game.
White can stir things up, however, after 11...Rxc5 12.e5 Nxe5 by playing 13.Ne4!? instead of capturing at e5. After 13...Neg4 14.Bxf6 Nxf6 15.Nxc5 White has won the exchange.
analysis diagram
The text move, instead, gives up the exchange but leaves the Knight at f6 still in danger.
12.fxg5 Ne8
The only safe place for the Knight, but it leaves Black's King at risk.
13.Qd5+
Black resigned, as mate follows
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ ...and related lines

A Long Time Getting There
Some things take time. Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) games, for example, should be won or lost with a *bang* – leaving plenty of time for other things.
Sometimes, though they drag on and on.
By the end of this post, readers familiar with the stories of the science fiction writer Ben Bova will understand why I wanted to title this "Pawns, Won't You Hide Me?"

Even at blitz speed, this endgame could have been played better. 33.Nd4+ would have pried open an entry to the Kingside for my King: 33...Kd6 34.Kf5 Ne5 35.Kg5 Nc4 36.Kxh4.
