Here is some of the analysis. It appears that the assessment that white is better is based on the possibilities for a king hunt against black, as some of the variations I list in my analysis. However, it appears that in the main line (with 11...Kd6), black can hold off mate and keep the material, while in the end generating an attack on the white king. [Event "?"] [Site "?"] [Date "????.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "White"] [Black "Black"] [Result "-"] [ECO "C57"] [PlyCount "48"] 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Nxf7 Kxf7 7. Qf3+ Ke6 8. Nc3 Ncb4 9. a3 Nxc2+ 10. Kd1 Nxa1 11. Nxd5 Kd6 (11... Kd7 12. Qf7+ Kc6 13. Bb5+ Kxb5 14. Nxc7+ Ka5 15. Qc4 Bg4+ 16. f3 Bd7 (16... Bxf3+ 17. gxf3 a6 18.Nd5 18... Nb3 {to stop 19.b5+} 19. Qxb3 Rc8 20. Qxb7 {black has stopped mate, but at quite a cost.}) 17. b4+ Ka4 18. Nd5 {and 19...Nc3# is coming} 18... Bxb4 (18... b5 19. Nc3#) 19. Qxb4#) 12. d4 exd4 13. Bf4+ Kc5 14.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
