Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

White avoids the speculative 6. Nxf7 when Black has 6. ... Kxf7 7. Qh5+ Ke7 8. Qxd5 Ndf6 9. Qb3 Be6 10. Qxb7 Bd5 11. Qa6 Kf7 when White has three pawns for his piece but is slightly behind in development. White exchanges on d7 rather than let Black trade on e5 which alters the pawn structure.
