Here's the answer:
One variation one should definitely take into account is the following:
(after white's 1.d5) 1...exf 2.dxc fxg and now it looks like white's losing a pawn because if he plays 3.cxb7? Bxb7 and the Pawn on g2 is protected. Ok, that was easy to see. The tricky move comes if white plays 3.cxd7+ instead: black then has the surprising 3...Nfxd7!! after which WHITE MUST RESIGN!!
