Jerome Gambit: Drilling Down (6)

RevvedUp and Hiarcs 8 continue their investigation of the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) Blackburne variation. It's great to have an analysis partner 1,000 rating points higher than you; but it's frustrating when it gets to all of the improvements first...

The move.

10.Qd8


The counter-move.

10...Bh3

RevvedUp is still looking for the smash, but the position calls for something calmer and more stabilizing, like 10...Bb6.

11.Qxc7+ Kg8

Up to this point the game is following Chandler - Dimitrov, 5 minute special game, Edinburgh, 2004.

12.Qxb7 Re8 13.d4 d5 14.gxh3 Qxh3 15.Qb3 Qg4+ 16.Qg3 Qxe4 17.dxc5 Black resigns
