About the Urusov Attack

After 5...h6 6. Nxf7 Kxf7, White has given up a knight to pull Black's king into the open. The Urusov Attack continues 7. Bc4+. Black answers 7...d5, blocking the check at the cost of a pawn, and after 8. Bxd5+ Kg7 the king shelters on g7. Then 9. d4 builds a broad center and frees the c1-bishop to attack the f4-pawn. White is still a net two pawns down in material, and plays on the half-open f-file and the uncastled king for compensation.
