Fried Liver attack 7... Qf6

Hallo Everyone,

I am a beginner and i am studying the Fried Liver Attack.

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5? 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Nxf7 Kxf7 7. Qxf3+

At this point I have heard that the best move should be Ke6 to add further protection to the Knight in d5.

I am a just a beginner but I think that 7. ... Qf6 is not that bad. For example 8. Qxd5+ Be6 9. Qd7+ (Bishop is pinned) Be7 10. Bx6+ Qxe6+ 11. Qxc7 Rab8 12. O-O Rhc8 and White has to exchange a Queen for a Rook.

Does someone can give me some comment or some source pro or against 7. ... Qf7?

8.Bxd5 Ke8 9.Bxc6 Qxc6 10.Qh5+ Qg6 11.Qxe5 and white is much better.

If bxc6 just play Qe2, 0-0, Nc3 and enjoy a nearly winning position.

If nothing else White could just play 9.Qxe6+ and Black will have a horrific ending. So yes, the whole thing is terrible. Ironically the move you give a question mark to, 4...d5, there's nothing wrong with that.

Sorry will Resign... Maybe i am too Noob but 9. Qxe6+ Qxe6 10. Bxe6+ Kxe6 does not look too bad for black. Ok king is in the middle but material is same. But white has all pieces on first row. I bag on pardon if my answer is too silly.

The funniest part is that d5, the apparent blunder, is by far black's best move.
