4...Kxf7? is blunder

4...Qe7! is the best move for black. It is actualy winning.

Thank you Apoluon

Offcourse,taking on f7 with the king is not the best move for black.Qe7 is stronger I think.

I wanted to know about that so-called Russian Defense for a quite a long time. I didn't analyse those moves for too long, but as far as I see it's very interesting. Thank you for sharing!

Sorry but you are wrong You said that 1) e4-e5 2) Nf3- Nf6 3) Nxe5 -Nxe4 4) Nxf7...Kxf7 (here is your wrong) you said that the best move for the black is to take the white knight(Kxf7) but the best move for black is the Qeen at e7.. so we have: 1) e4-e5 2) Nf3- Nf6 3) Nxe5 -Nxe4 4) Nxf7. - Qe7 5) Nxh8 - Nc3 so white loose his Qeen..
