Hard to Believe



We are living in the new millenium, the time of super grandmasters and silicon wonders, and it can be hard to believe that danger, especially in the form of an obscure gambit, can strike quickly in a chess game... Here is another selection from the new version of The Database.



SpiderSI - septox
blitz, FICS, 2011

1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nc6 3.Nf3 Na5


4.Bxf7+

The Jerome treatment.

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Ke6 6.d4 d5


7.Qg4+

Strongest is 7.Qh5, but the text will do.

7...Kf6 8.Bg5 checkmate
