Jerome Gambit: Drilling Down (13)


Up until I reviewed this game, I usually recommended that White use the 7.Qd5+ "nudge" of the Black King before capturing the enemy Bishop on c5 (see "Jerome Gambit Tournament: Chapter XIV") -- but I never had a clear reason why, except to force the monarch back, ultimately interfering with the development of the Black Rook at h8. Perhaps it avoids novelties such as the one Fritz8 found here.

RevvedUp - Fritz 8
blitz 2 12, 2006

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6



7.Qxc5 Nf4 TN


8.0-0 d6 9.Qe3 Qg5 10.g3 Nh3+ 11.Kg2 Qxe3 12.dxe3



Recapture with the other pawn is a bit better.


White's next move is a slip.

12...Ng5 13.f3 Bh3+ White resigns
