Without at least stats for Black/White your table doesn't help much to
verify your note about 'Black gets a good game'.

Thanks. That result looks like more than good for Black ;)
Obviously it is a bad line for White(and even more worse if the
Black side is a program) to sack the second pawn here.

I play the Morra quite often in blitz and rapid tourneys(not at
long time tournaments though) and never played 8. e5? instead
of the normal O-O followed by Rd1 so far. My huge database
even doesn't give a single game BTW with that line.

Could you please provide the position under examination rather than just the move? Surely it would be easier for you to do it rather than for others who have to play through the moves first.

Thanks.

Copy the FEN of the GUI of our choice produces into the clipboard
and paste it here with a [d] before. (NOTE that the forum software
does not show diagrams in the preview!)

Here are the positions to discuss:

After 8. e5? which I think is bad
[d]r1bqkb1r/1p2pppp/p1np1n2/4P3/2B5/2N2N2/PP2QPPP/R1B1K2R b KQkq - 0 8

After 10.... Bxf3 the start position for the test
[d]r2qkb1r/1p2pppp/p1n2n2/4p3/2B5/2N2b1P/PP2QPP1/R1B2RK1 w kq - 0 10
