Blackburne Shilling gambit C50 Italian Game
4. Nxe5?
This move looks natural, but it is a bad move as there is a strong double attack. It turns out that Black's pawn on e5 wasn't free.
After 4...Qg5!, both e5 and g2 are attacked by the queen. White is in a lot of trouble and has to give up a knight to have a playable game with either 5. Bxf7+ or 5. O-O, both with a better position for Black.
