This is one legal himself played before.

David, do you mean Legall? And why does 4. ... Nc6 get a "?". It seems like after 5. h3 Bxf3 black is not lost.
Davidmingming
Black's best move is 5. ... Be7.

Davidmingming,

Actually, black's best move is 6. ... Nxe5, winning a piece. (7. Qxh5 Nxc4)

 As a native English speaker, huh? I realize there is different slang in different countries, do you know what country uses this slang?

In your first "blue" position, this is a standard Philidor trap and there is nothing wrong with backing the bishop up to h5.

6. Nxe5 NxNe5

7. QxBh5 NxBc4 and black remains a solid piece up.

 

In order for the trap to work, neither black knight should be developed.
