The opening is not a true gambit, since White cannot take the pawn on e5 without losing material; however, after 4.Nxe5 Qg5, White can maintain a playable game with 5.Bxf7+! Steinitz wrote that this move, "followed by castling, is now White's best chance and in some measure a promising one, considering that he has two Pawns and the attack for the piece". G. Chandler–, Stockbridge 1983, continued 5...Ke7 (5...Kd8 is better) 6.0-0 Qxe5 7.Bxg8 Rxg8 8.c3 Nc6 (Silman analyzes 8...Ne6 9.d4 Qf6 10.f4 when "with two pawns and an attack for the sacrificed piece, White’s compensation isn’t in doubt".) 9.d4 ( Keres) Qa5? 10.d5 Ne5? 11.Qh5! Nf7? 12.d6+! (in light of 13.Qxa5).
