6.Qh5+ edit
After this, Black has various good replies. 6...g6 and 6...Kf8 are enough to win, but the greedy and probably best 6...Ke6!? shows the unsoundness of White's attack. He simply is not developed enough despite the centralized Black king. He will just be down a piece for a pawn. Lines to avoid are: 6... Kf6?? 7.Qf5+ followed by Qxe5+ and Qxc5 with 2 extra pawns for White, or 6... Ke7?? 7.Qxe5+ with Qxc5 coming next, once again with two extra pawns for White.
