3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 g6 '+0.60
So far, the parties are playing correctly.
5.Bxc4 Bg7 6.Qa4+ '-0.10 Nbd7?? '+2.96

Instead of 6... Nbd7??, Black may play 6... c6 7.Qc2(Qb3) 0-0 '-0.03(-0.05).
Instead of 6.Qa4+, a best for White is: 6.0-0 Nc6 7.b3 0-0 '+0.68.
7.Bxf7+! Kf8 8.Bb3 Nb6 9.Qa5 '+2.54 (Black is bad: no castling, h8-rook blocked, poor development)
7.Bxf7+! Kxf7?? 8.Ng5+! Ke8? 9.Ne6 '+5.76 with losing the queen.
7.Bxf7+! Kxf7?? 8.Ng5+! Kf8? 9.Ne6+ '+6.05 with losing the queen.
7.Bxf7+! Kxf7?? 8.Ng5+! Kg8?? 9.Qb3+ 'M3 with mate in 3.
