Still fascinated with the move Ng5+ for White in the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) after yesterday's examples of play in the ChessWorld Jerome Gambit Thematic Tournament, I bumped into the following recently played game at FICS.

(Ah, yes Geoff Chandler was on to it earlier; perhaps the Jerome Gambit is a forced draw after all...)
