But I seriously doubt that Black can hold on to the piece by moving his king up to the 4th rank. 4...Kf6 5.Qf3+ Ke5 6.d4+ Kxd4 7.Ne2+ Kd5 8.Nbc3+ or 4...Ke6 5.Qg4+ Ke5 6.Nf3+ Kd5 7.Qf5+ or 4...Ke6 5.Qg4+ Kd5 6.Qf3 Ke5 7.d4+ | |

| May 5, 2016 at 5:04 | comment | added | bof | @MikeJones 4.Qh5+ Kf6 5.Qf3+ or 4.Qh5+ Ke6 5.Qg4+. You really want to bring your king out into the middle of the board in the opening to protect that knight? | |
| May 5, 2016 at 2:55 | comment | added | Mike Jones | I wrote wrongly the first time. After 2. Bc4, White loses a pawn because 4. Qh5+ is answered by K36/f6. | |
