In another Jerome Gambit game from Филидор1792 (Philidor 1792; see "Attitude" and "Where Do Ideas Come From?" Part 1 and Part 2)) we see the further exploration of the "big centre" in a rough-and-tumble game where Black defends routinely and White misses a chance to take advantage. The second player then finishes decisively.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Nc3 Nf6 5.Bxf7+
The Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit.
5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.d4 Bd6 8.f4
The "big centre" position.
8...Nc6 9.e5 Re8
As in yesterday's game.
10.0-0 Bb4 11.d5 Bxc3 12.dxc6 Bb4 13.exf6 Qxf6
14.cxb7
Possibly underestimating the fork that he would have after the other capture, 14.cxd7, which would win a piece and give White a small edge.
The text leaves White with two pawns for his sacrificed piece, and allows him to fork Black's two Bishops; but there is a way for the defender to slip out and then counterattack.
14...Bxb7 15.Qxd7+ Re7 16.Qb5 Qb6+ 17.Qxb6 axb6 18.c3 Bc5+ 19.Kh1 Re2 White resigned
