Jerome Gambit: Drilling Down (7)


RevvedUp is ready for this round of the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+), Blackburne variation, and -- putting together all that he has learned so far -- he completely dominates newcomer Shredder 8, up until a very unfortunate final error.



RevvedUp - Shredder 8
blitz 2 12, 2006

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6

7.Qxe5 d6 8.Qxh8 Qh4 9.0-0 Nf6 10.Qd8 Qxe4

After 10...Bb6 White must crack the center with 11.e5.

11.Nc3 Qe7 12.Qxe7+ Kxe7 13.d3 Be6 14.Be3 Bb4

RevvedUp is up the exchange and a pawn: he has handled Blackburne's counter-sacrifice very well.

15.a3 Ba5 16.b4 Bb6 17.Bg5 Bd4 18.Bd2 Be5 19.Rae1 Rf8 20.f4 Bd4+ 21.Kh1 Kd7 22.h3 h5 23.Nb5 Bb6 24.c4 h4

Shredder 8 is resisting, but it is clear that the Jerome Gambit has been a success.

Now White falls to an unfortunate oversight.

25.d4 Bxc4 White resigns
