4. Nxe5?!
[edit | edit source]This looks natural, but it is not a good move as there is a strong double attack! After Qg5!, White is in a lot of trouble and has to give up a piece to have a playable game. This is known as the Blackburne-Shilling gambit. After Qg5, both e5 and g2 are attacked by the queen.
