3...fxe5?
[edit | edit source]Black is up material, at least for a while.
4. Qh5+ forks the king and the e5 pawn. After 4...g6 5. Qxe5+ wins Black's rook. 4...Ke7 5. Qxe5+ Kf7 is no better. One continuation is 6. Bc4+ d5 7. Bxd5+ Kg6 and White has three pawns for their knight, their bishop developed, and Black's king on the run.
