From Tragedy to Farce

Having decided to stop playing the Jerome Gambit until I found more balance with analysis and study (see "Busted"), I nonetheless tried to sneak in a game today... It should be no surprise that the results were completely disastrous, moving beyond tragedy to farce.

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


4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.Qf5+ Kd6 8.Qf4


A mouse slip (I intended, of course, my standard 8.f4), not surprising given that I was trying to make a move while shooing the dog away from me...

 8...Qf6 White resigned

Actually, I asked to abort the game, but my opponent declined.
