[edit] 2...f6?
White may take the pawn, because retaking with 3...fxe5 would result in either the loss of a rook after 4. Qh5+ g6 5. Qxe5+ Qe7 6. Qxh8 or an irresistible attack after 4...Ke7 5.Qxe5+ Kf7 6.Bc4+ (the rest of White's pieces come out with gain of time) d5! (best. If simply 6...Kg6 7.Qf5+ Kh6 8.d4+ g5 9.h4 Black is getting mated) 7.Bxd5+ Kg6 8.Bxb7! again winning a rook because if 8...Bxb7 then 9.Qf5+, with a similar line as to above.
The only chance for Black that does not lose immediately is 2...Qe7, but White has a large advantage after 3.Nf3 Qxe4+ 4.Be2 because of his large lead in development.
