Safer for White is 4.Nxd4 or 4.0-0} Qg5! 5.Nxf7 Qxg2 {White lets Black take on
h8 counter attacking h1!} 6.Rf1 Qxe4+ 7.Be2 (7.Qe2 Nxe2 {giving up the queen
is hopeless} 8.Bxe2 (8.Nxh8 Nc3+ 9.Be2 Qxe2#) 8...Kxf7 {and Black is a whole
queen ahead}) 7...Nf3#) 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nd4 {The Fritz Variation, allowing
White to advance their d-pawn.} 6.d6 Qxd6 7.Bxf7+ (7.Nxf7 {Looks like a simple
fork of queen and rook winning material, but there's a trap!} Qc6 8.Nxh8 Qxg2

possible, but Black has the Blackburne-Schilling checkmate in mind}) 11.Nf7
