1. e4

Annotating this simply because the ending is unusual. |

1... e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Nc3
|
Black generally does better following with Nxe4. Black makes back with pawn fork of the knight and bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
4... Bb4 5. d4
|
This goes off book, with the common response being d3 instead. |
|
| |
|
|
5... exd4 6. Nxd4 O-O
|
Instead of castling, Nxe4 is a free pawn as the defending knight is pinned. |

7. Nf3 d5 8. exd5 Re8+ 9. Be3 Bg4
|
Did black forget Nc6 was under attack? |

Another potential pawn fork if black can cover it. White undoubles black’s pawns. |

The c5 pawn becomes white’s, with two pieces on it. |

Wrong side. Kh7 saves the g pawn. |

Up six white is encouraged to make even trades. |
