    Black's second move cost him the game.

    BTW, I think it's a classic opening blunder, but I couldn't remember where I saw it before. Anyhow, it was entertaining to actually play out the combination on livechess.

    This is called the Damiano defence. It has already been analysed centuries ago. Your solution (with 6...d5 7.Bxd5 inserted) was well known back then.

    Black should play 3...Qe7 with slight chances to get a share of the game. White could simply play 3.Bc4 with an obvious advantage.

    Good to know! So instead of the knight sac, Bc4 is even better?
