Actually no- because of this:

And black has a -1 advantage

bxf7 O_O

after d6 it just drops a piece because the knight is guarded

BEFORE BF4(also in those lines bf4 is never played)

I mean I literally main these lines as white so I know all of the annoying lines that people play when they don't know theory

It is not a bad opening for beginners/intermediates. Ng5 either wins a pawn or unleashes the Fried Liver Attack (Nxf7), which is very hard for even 2000 players to defend

Even GMs often play Ng5 in this position
