Fair Weather to Foul

Just as it looks like I will score my second Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) win in the two Italian Game tournaments that I am playing at Chess.com, (for the first win, see "A Successful Tournament Already") I have started a third Jerome game – against a player who started off the tournament rated over 400 points higher than me (which is not quite the same thing as giving "Jerome Gambit odds"). Since I beat him in our first game, his motivation is high, and I suspect the over-the-board weather is likely to change from fair to foul...
