In the Zukertort Defense, black goes for the more active setup with the move d5. If white captures the pawn with the knight with the intention of forking the king, it is not possible as black castles queen side without allowing for white to counter and thereby giving a lead in development for black.
1.f4 e5 2.e4 exf4 3.Nc3 Nc6 4.d4 Qh4+ 5.Ke2 d5 6.Nxd5
Nxd5 does not give white much advantage as black is ready to sacrifice a pawn but if white captures with pawn then white is asking black for an immediate action from his end.
Bg4+ 7.Nf3 0-0-0 8.Bxf4 Nf6 9.Bxc7 Rxd5 10.exd5
A subtle move played which allows massive attack on the white king.

Giving back two pieces for a rook which does not favour black.
25.Kxd2 Nf3+ 26.Ke2 Nxe1 27.Kxe1 Rd8 28.Rxd8 Kxd8 29.Bxb5 Nd5 30.a3 a5
A blunder!

And the h pawn creates a victory path for white.
In the Fraser-Minckwitz variation,zukertort variation,paulsen defense and soerensen defense, the rule of safety of the king is violated and the king is not moved to safety. So for those players who really feel uncomfortable moving their king to safety, then this opening is not for you. Though it can be implemented while playing a blitz or a bullet game where preparation is really required while playing this game.
