I think the 5.Bxf7+ …
I think the 5.Bxf7+ check is worse for White than merely not obtaining any advantage. In the 5…d5 6.Neg5+ Kg8 line presented, Black is already threatening 7…e4 winning one of the knights. If White stops this with 7.d3, Black can drive the knights back with 7…h6 8.Nh3 Bg4, when the offside knight on h3 must go to g1 if it wants to get back into the game.

I do agree, because …
I do agree, because even though black wins a tempo checking the king after Nxe4. One of the Knights will end op on the side of the board which is no good, The only thing white can benefit from is that black’s king is going to be in the center for the rest of the game. But Fischer was a genius so we can’t expect normal players to apply this line in the four knights. But thanks for the vid anyway =D

Hmm thanks for …
Hmm thanks for posting that, that is a relevant video, however just because Fischer played Bxf7+ doesn’t mean it’s great. Black was a weaker player who make subsequent moves to compromise his King’s position. Bxf7+ creates an unbalanced game which in the long term favors Black, but that is not to say that there’s no danger in the position!

I don’t know of any …
I don’t know of any association between Bxf7+ and Fischer. The move does disrupt the Black King but gives Black the bishop pair, and also Black will have the advantage in the center as White is trading his e pawn for the opponent’s f pawn. This line is shown in the video and is not considered dangerous for Black.

Fischer actually …
Fischer actually found a way to stop the power of this move from black. This match of bobby fischer is also on youtube.
After black plays; Nxe4 then White simply plays Bxf7. After king captures Bishop. White can take blacks knight with its own Knight, and white lost its castle here.

It’s White’s move in that position. But yes, you are correct, ..e5-e4 is a threat. White must respect this threat, a single tempo is meaningless compared to the loss of a minor piece.

at 6:40. How would you continue, my brother and I looked at it, I would play E5-E4 because then if white moves his knight to anywhere black plays Qxg5 taking the lead with one knight. But losing some tempo because white plays Nf3 (going back) attacking blacks Queen.

It’s not a poor move, it maintains contact with the knight on c6. Otherwise black could just take it. Ba4 forces Black to invest a tempo with …Bd7 in order to recover his piece.

At 6:07, why did white do such a poor bishop retreat? The bishop could be trapped in some pawn moves.
