5.Bxf7 looks like it just loses a piece for very little compensation.there is no "theory" because it's a pretty bad move
disagree, Bxf7 then black must take on f7 and his king is exposed and loses the right to castle, maybe not enough compensation, but definitely some
e5 is in keeping with the scotch gambit , but also kng5 is an option here . the sac looks too early though and id have put in a c2 c3 to allow for qb3 before hand , i think black can survive this early sac tho and then white will be a piece down

I like having fun with the game...such a sequence would be playable in Bullet and Blitz games.
