Rumors of my death...

Since I had decided not to give up on the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) despite my recent difficulties, there was nothing left to do but to keep playing – and keep pressing for the best.

perrypawnpusher - mikelars
blitz, FICS, 2010

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 
 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6

7.Qd5+ Ke8 8.Qxc5 d6 9.Qe3 Ne5

A provocative move. Standard was 9... Nf6

10.O-O Nf6 11.f4

The alternative 11.d4 was seen in Ghandybh - Noel1942, Chess.com, 2009.

11...Neg4

Instead, 11...Nfg4 was seen in perrypawnpusher - Kotimatka, blitz, FICS, 2010. Probably 11...Nc6 was best. 

12.Qe2 Qe7 13.d3 Rf8 14.Nc3 Nh5

With his 13th move Black set up to castle-by-hand, and he should have continued that with 14... Kf7. The Knights are not going to accomplish anything on the Kingside.

15.Nd5 Qd7 16.f5 Ngf6

17.Bg5 h6 18.Bxf6 Nxf6 19.Nf4 Qb5 20.c3 Bd7

21.Rae1 Qa5

While I strengthen my center, Mikelars eyes my pawns on the Queenside. This could prove risky, which is why 21... Kf7 was to be preferred.

22.a3 Bb5 23.e5

23... dxe5

This allows White to crash through, as Black's Bishop blocks his Queen from affecting the center. The best defense was 23...Qb6+, guarding the vulnerable e6 square. 

24. Qxe5+ Kd7 25. Qe7+ Kc8 26. Qxf8+

Black forfeited on time, but he was due to experience the loss of serious amounts of material, followed by checkmate.
