2... Nf6 3. f4

The idea behind this move (f4) is to open the f file, so after white's O-O, the Rook will be in a semi-open file, attacking the king's wing.
Also white threatens fxe5.
exf4 is a BAD move for black, because white responds with e5 and the Knight is forced to move back. |

3... Nc6

BAD move (you'll see why...)
Accepted responses for black are d5 or d6 |

This move protects the white king from Qh4 |

Not a good move (in my opinion). Although the upcoming bxc3 will worsen White's pawn formation, the black-square white bishop gets better (he can move to b2 or c3). |

This is a very BAD move for black that will cost a pawn. Actually this is the reason I annotated this game, because the same situation is very common in several other openings (including Italian).
!! Always be careful when pinning the f-Knight (f3 for White, f6 for Black) against the Queen. The f2/f7 pawn is in danger !!
Take a look at the following sequence:
Bxf7+ Kxf7
Kg5+ Ke1
Qxg4
White won a pawn |

12. Bxf7+ Kd8

Black saw what will happen if he captures the bishop, so he decides to move away.
Still the pawn is lost.
(by the way, I think that Kd7 would be better - to leave access for the a8-Rook in e8) |
