[edit | edit source]White picks up the free pawn. Black does not get compensation.
Black has no straight-forward way to recover the material yet. The very first thing they must do is 2...Nf6. Otherwise, Black has no protection from Qh5+!: e.g. 2...d5? (intending ...Bxf5) 3. Qh5+! g6 4. fxg6 Bg7 5. gxh7+ Kf8 6. hxg8=Q++-.
2...Kf7?? is a joke, intentionally awful continuation called the Fred defence. 3. Qh5+ g6 4. fxg6+ Kg7 5. gxh7 Rxh7 6. Qg5+ Kh8+-.
