Ok, so I have been asked to do a public study. The critical position is
Here's a bunch of winning lines, we have
[where "iff" means if and only if]
Bg5+, kg6 forced,
Bxd8+, and neither kh5 or kh6 works as
Qg5#
But what if instead, we had
Qg3+, Kh5, then this variant continues with
Bf7+, g6 forced lines
Qe5+, kh4
h3, Qd1+
Kxd1, Bg4+
hxg4+, Kxg4,
With the beautiful f3#

I cannot find checkmate of course. But it looks similar to some fried liver attack or damiano defence positions and seems to be winning.
wow i had a game so similar to this, but I went Bc5 before sacking the knight
Lets go Smith morra gambit gang
