There is room for exploration in the c3 systems for White, as played here and in other battles in this tournament, but the current game is not a happy one for the Jerome Gambit Gemeinde (community).
I was not very happy winning this game, even if it took me one step closer to my initial plan to "win with Black and draw with White."

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.d3
The "modern" Jerome Gambit (See "Jerome Gambit Tournament: Chapter IV" and "Jerome Gambit Tournament: Chapter V"). I am not convinced that this line is an improvement over the old fashioned 5.Nxe5, but since either move, objectively, leads to a lost game for White, the point may not be worth much debate.
5...Nf6 6.c3 Bb6 7.Qb3+ d5
Transposing to Kevin the fruitbat - perrypawnpusher from the same tournament, to be covered later.
My opponent now tries his hand at the endgame. He probably can cause more mischief by leaving the Queens on the board.
8.exd5 Qxd5 9.Qxd5+ Nxd5 10.0–0 Bg4 11.Nbd2 Rhf8 12.h3 Bh5 13.Ne4 Bxf3 14.gxf3 Kg8
White's attacking prospects are nil -- Black has castled by hand again -- he is behind in material and development, and his position has a number of targets.
15.Kg2 Nce7 16.Re1 Ng6 17.c4 Ndf4+ 18.Kf1 Nxd3 19.Re2 Rxf3 20.a4 Raf8 21.b3 Nxf2
Pursuing the simple endgame. For the record, 21...Bxf2 had more tactical bite.22.Nxf2 Rxf2+ 23.Rxf2 Rxf2+ 24.Ke1 Nf4 25.Bxf4 exf4 26.a5 Be3 27.b4 Rh2 28.Ra3 Rxh3 29.Ra4 f3 30.c5
Agreeing to go quietly into the night.
30...Rh1 checkmate
