Damiano played 8. f4?? but it's a blunder. The correct line: 8. h4 h5 9. Bxb7 Bd6 10. Qa5 (Chess.com Explorer / Stockfish: +4.64, depth=24).

Black are obliged to play 6...d5. The immediate 6...Kg6?? leads to a nice straightforward mate in 11 moves starting with 7. Qf5+! Kh6 8. h4! [8. d3+! and 8. d4+! work too].
