This game is probably one of my best game. I mated the opponent with legal's trap. I totally love this. I'd have to disagree about the risk factor, it is a risk. I wouldn't attempt it unless I knew I was playing a guy with little experience. If black plays dxe5 instead of capturing the queen, the game can be pretty tough for white. White tends to get a lot of attacking play after this even though he's a piece down, but if black can find the right squares and survive he'll probably emerge in the end game with the better position. Having said that I've played both sides of this against Fritz, won and lost. Too many ifs buts and maybes involved here.
I love traps like this though, there are loads of them on youtube.
5...Nxe5 doesn't look good for White and is an easy-to-find move.
