Chess: The f7 sacrifice
1.Nc3 c6 2.e4 d5 3.Nf3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Bf5 5.Neg5 h6 6.Nxf7
I found this to be an interesting sacrifice, but I doubt it is strictly correct. White eliminates some of blacks king safety, but I still doubt it is entirely correct.
6...Kxf7 7.Ne5+
This is the only follow up, I can imagine having any chance of success
7...Ke8
[7...Ke6 8.d4 Nf6 9.Bc4+ Nd5 10.O-O Here I suppose white should have decent compensation for the piece.
This is an analysis diagram
]
8.Qh5+ g6 9.Nxg6 Bxg6 10.Qxg6+ Kd7 11.Bc4 Nf6 12.Qf5+ Kc7 13.d4 Nbd7
[13...Qxd4 14.Bf4+
And there black is just dropping the queen 14...Kb6 [14...Kd8 15.Rd1] [14...e5 15.Bxe5+] 15.Be3]
14.Bf4+ Kc8
Almost compensation, black does not have good coordination,, and white has an attack going

I went on to win this game.
What about this line:
7...Ke8 8.Qh5+
this should validate the initial sacrifice..

But Qh5 is not check if the king is on e6 ? Also Kxe5 is possible ?
Or do you think of another position?
Ke8, sorry. I'm referring to the position of the third image (I'm going to edit in the right way just now). What do you think about that continuation?
But that is the continuation in the post? Surely black has problems. It seems I did not put a picture in at this moment.
Well, I'll try to better explain.
The image I'm referring to is this one (position after 7...Ke8):
On this position a continuation could be: 8. Qh5+ g6 9. Nxg6 Bxg6 10. Qxg6+ Kd7. At this point Black still maintains the advantage of a piece, but White has regained a +1 and put black king exposed to attacks. In effect it is not sure about a real advantage for White after this, but I think he has a better position.
