You can't play like that!

In his first Jerome Gambit game of the year, I am sure that Bill Wall's opponent was watching White dance his Queen around the board, thinking - if not yelling - You can't play like that! Of course, that kind of lack of "appreciation" of an opponent's play can lead to shallow responses (i.e. it doesn't take much to refute poor play) and the almost inevitable loss...

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

The Jerome Gambit. Quite likely Black is already saying "You can't play like that!"

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 7.Qd5+Kf8 8.Qf5+ 

White indulges in a double "nudge". The move 7.Qd5+ is well known, but only one other example of 8.Qf5+ exists in The Database.

8...Qf6 9.Qxc5+ d6 10.Qxc7

This was the idea behind White's moves - half of which have been by his Queen.

10... N8e7

I have been using Houdini 2 to help with my analysis lately, and after I saw what it recommended here, I was pretty much convinced that the computer program doesn't understand the Jerome Gambit, as I found myself thinking: You can't play like that! 10...Nh4 11.Rg1 Qf4 12.Kf1 Qxh2 13.Qd8+ Kf7 14.Qg5 h6 15.Qg3 Qxg3 16.fxg3 Ng6 17.d3 Nf6 18.Nc3 Rf8 19.Be3 Ne5 20.Ke2 Be6 21.Rgf1 a6 22.Na4 Rac8 23.Kd2 Kg8 24.Nb6 Rc7 25.c4 Rcf7  with a clear advantage to Black.

11. O-O

Again, Houdini 2 has strange ideas on how it thinks the game should go: 11.d3 Nh4 12.Rg1 Nc6 13.Nc3 Qg6 14.Kf1 Nf3 15.Bf4 Nxg1 16.Kxg1 Kg8 17.Nb5 Qf7 18.Qxd6 h6 19.Be3 Kh7 20.d4 Rd8
21.Qg3 Qf6 22.Nc7 Rb8 23.e5 Qf7 about even. 

11...Kf7 

12.d3 Ne5 13.Nc3 Bg4 

Black unites his Rooks and plans to use them against the enemy Queen. However, White acts first.

14.Nd5 Qe6 15.f4 N5c6 16.f5 Qe5 17.Bf4 

17...Qd4+ 18.Be3 Qxb2 19.Rab1 Qxc2 20.Nxe7 Nxe7 21.Qxc2

White's Queen has the last word.

Black resigned.
