  <p>I am trying to understand if after Bxf7+ it is a force draw (with best play), I checked this <a href="http://www.365chess.com/opening.php?m=7&amp;n=18887&amp;ms=e4.e5.Nc3.Bc5.Na4.Bxf2%20&amp;ns=3.5.55.448.12019.18887">opening site</a> and after Bxf2 there is almost 88% of draw in this position.</p>
