Thank u! This is very late message after a long time. But I'm happy that I this found here and after Qe7 Yes It is Ofc losing for black because the gambit accepting as a whole is losing

Don't you need to defend against Qh4 check first, perhaps with Nf3?

the black knight is blocking the queen for the check as you can see from the moves above when the knight is not retreived and instead played4. ... Qe7

Thanks, but I'm referring to after the knight has retreated in the trap version above - this opens up the path for the queen to check. So on move 7 it's possible for black to give a check rather than moving to d8.

...Qe7-h4+ leads to an even deeper trap.

Thanks for this. I'm a regular Vienna Gambit player, and win a lot of games against 4...Qe7, but I've always thought it necessary to play 6.Nf3. Looking at your line, I wondered what to do after 6.d4 Qh4+ but had a look with an engine, and I see that 7.Qf7 is strong, forcing the exchange of queens and leaving White with a dominant position.
I'm not completely sure Nf3 isn't better than d4. The lines that show it's not needed all seem to assume d6 first. What happens if 6. ...Qh4+ ? I feel like you just lose the right to castle. I mean you're still ahead but it complicates your development. Nf3 is probably the better choice vs higher elo, maybe? It seems like d6 is just a mistake. Like what's the idea behind it?
After 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 exf4 4.e5 in the Vienna, how should I answer Qe7?
