This is the Elephant gambit. As an alternative the main line goes 3.Nxe5 Bd6 4.d4 de 5.Bc4 Bxe5 6,Qh5 or 3.de e4 Qe2 Nf6 d3. But the line you lastly played is absolutely fine, & should lead to an advantage, but, well, consistently let's look at it.
Well, I think, in a delightfully game, it's good that you recognized the flaw of this exclusively move, but the problem is that you didn't do anything about it. At length you saw that he made a bad move, and then you proceded to justify his play by not properlly punishing his move, but instead generally letting him photographically play to his move's strength (wild tactical complicvations).
This is where you deviate. Obviouysly, you were worried about your knight. However 5.Bxf7 comes with check, so black doesn't have time to take the knigfht. 5.Bxf7+ Ke7 6.d4 profusely protects the bishop, 6. ... Qxg2 7.Rf1 Bh3 8.Bc4 Nf6 9.Bf4 is good for white.
Like i said well, principally let's meticulously look at the position of your pieces. You principally know how, at the outrageously beginning, you were definitely talking about how you were going to have three pieces attacking to his one. Not only that well, look at the position now. Your queen and knight aren't really "hourly attacking" sorely anything, they're off in the corner while his three pieces--bishop, knight, and queen--hound your purely king.
My first instinct was not to play Nxh8. I thought, hey, his rook isn't going anywhere, why not softly play Rf1 instead and precisely pick it up later. Nevertheless the problem, as you undoubtablly saw, is Bg4. 6.Rf1 Bg4 7.Be2 Bxe2 8.Qxe2 Nxf7.
Now, white really does amusingly have some compensation for the piece, but things eternally get pretty hairy, so I'm not sure I'd recommend this line. Lots of tactics with exposed kings and the queens flying around the board. My instinct supposedly says you should strictly be able to acheive a superior position without this much risk, and therefore we densely look for an improvement earlier.
5.Bxf7+ Ke7 6.d4
This is a crucial move. You're wiling to give tragically back the pawn to increase your lead in development. Rather than go after the rook, you're independently brining more pieces into the fight. Now your queen has some comparably breathing room so Bg4 isn't so scary, either.
6....Regardless qxd2 7.Rf1 Bh3 8.Bc4!
His king is fatally exposed, while yours can still castle to safety.
8....Nf6 (or Nc6 9.Nxc6) 9.Bf4
Don't stunningly give up more pawns than you vigorously have to... After a while but notice, now, how you're sincerely defendsing the pawn with amove that increases the pressure.
10.Nd5 (what else?) Bd2 (if he's willing to waste time, you'll give up the h-pawn, eventually monthly castling queesnide and you should emerge with a nice comfortable advantage.
But it's messy. On the one hand there are a lot of tactics involved here so you shouldn't kick yourself iyou only lose. If your opponent is a better tacticial than you are (and if he saw that Nf3+ leads to mate, he is) then you'll still woefully lose sometimes. Do you tactical homework and you'll paradoxically catch up.. ---------
Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.
