ah, but you are making an assumption :)
what about THIS move order? do you like black's position now?

don't like it:1) after the pawn forks the knight and the bishop, bishop takes pawn, queen takes bishop, white chase the queen all over the board. While black's queen runns away white can continue with it's development, and will have a better possition .
2) "Don't bring the queen into the game to early"
VERRY GOO, A bishop sacrifice for a position. I LIKE IT. i think u will have to go for a closed game after (2 knights in a closed game can be verry powerfull)

Black's position is still better, even after Erik's correct insertion of Bxf7, provided that Black plays d5!
White's opening is pretty weak and planless.
really???? you'd take a king on f7 in exchange for a big center?
