Chessfriend Welton Vaz ("Ghandybh" at Chess.com) has tried his hand at the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) after receiving the database of games from the first year of posting on this site (see "Happy Birthday: Twelve months of blog...") – and the result was pleasant; for him, any way (see "Shock and Awe").
If you have a moment, why not stop by his "Chess, Science Fiction and Peace" blog?

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 
7.f4 g6 
Black seems to remember something about this opening... Something about maybe a Blackburne game...? Something...?7...Qf6 or 7...d6 were good ideas; 7...g6 was not.
8.Qxe5+ Kf7 9.Qxh8
A better capture than taking the Bishop, although that won for White, too: 9.Qxc5 d6 10.Qd4 Nf6 11.0-0 b5 12.d3 c5 13.Qc3 Be6 14.f5 gxf5 15.exf5 Bd5 16.Bg5 Rg8 17.Qd2 Qf8 18.Bxf6 Kxf6 19.Nc3 Bc6 20.Rae1 Bxg2 21.Rf2 Bh3+ 22.Kh1 Bxf5 23.Ref1 Rg5 24.Ne4+ Black resigned, grobnic - vallabhan, GameKnot, 2004 9...Qh4+ 10.g3 Qh6 11.Qc3 b6
Black had bad luck on one long diagonal. He hopes to have better luck on the other one.12.d4 Be7 13.Qc4+ Kf8 14.0-0 c5
White has the better center, better development, and a safer King.15.f5
15...Qe3+ An illusion, but Black is still doomed after 15...g5, for example: 16.f6 Nxf6 17.Qd5 Rb8 18.Bxg5 and White will crash through.
16.Bxe3 Black resigned
