To my reckoning Deep Junior 8 and Shredder 8 prefer 7.d3 without a book. I have
a book with the line 7.e5 but after Qxe5, it gives 8.d3.

I think 8.Bxf7 is also called the Double Muzio.

Thing is. you give exclamation marks for three moves above, can you print a game
here that white won plaing the double Muzio - I reckon most players would
struggle from being 2 pieces behind!
