Trivial edge for black, despite material advantage for white.

Hi Jon!

Trivial edge for black, despite material advantage for white.

[d]rnbq1b1r/1pp2kp1/3p1n2/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKB1R w - - 0 5

How to come to this position

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 d6. 4. Nxf7 Kxf7 | Remove bPa7 & bPh7.

Alternatively [castling rights can be intact for white].

Well, I would have thought the Cochrane- Gambit imbalanced enough, if you take two pawns away from Black secondarily, the position rather gets more balanced again than it was before, doesn't it?
Will have a closer look at it anyhow

Removal of Pa7 & Ph7 do grant black some sort of compensation due to semi-open file for both rooks. Moderately offsetting two pawn deficit.

SF supports your opinion, Jon, here is the output after some Forward- Backward:

[d]rnbq1b1r/1pp2kp1/3p1n2/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKB1R w - - 0 1

Of course the early Queen-tradeoff might not have been the most aggressive game for Black
