4. Bxf7 is actually a bad move for white. You lose a bishop and trade a flank pawn for a central pawn. It is pretty easy for black to artificially castle and by then black has more than equalized.

if white doesnt play this opening right black has a easy win

I played this at the Chicago Open and won every game. Blacks move is a blunder as they should play Bc5.
I prefer the line ECO 29 1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 f4. The best response for black is then d5 not exf4.

I've played this exact opening and won with white (in person, not online)... I would have agreed with Angry Pawn on the move. Even points and black loses ability to castle.... but now I see that knight to f3, then fork is probably the better move.

I played it before!

From this position white's bishop should capture f7. The king is forced to move and loses the ability to castle. After that white can still take the knight.

that's a strange sacrifice to make.... I guess it means better positioning for Black in the long run

So I guess if Nxe4, then d5 forks N & B

I have never played such an opening...Guess I'll probably lose both as white and black.
