The Evans Gambit can be deadly in fast blitz games, and when White adds a dash of Jerome Gambit as well, things can get very wild.
It is fun to quote from Bullet Chess One Minute to Mate by Hikaru Nakamura and Bruce Harper on the issue and impact of time
What chess pedants often don't emphasize sufficiently are the psychological and competitive aspects of chess. Great attacking players like Tal often so confused their opponents that they grew short of time and lost their way (and the game). This was risky, of course, because there could be no guarantee that the opponent would get into time trouble, much less make a mistake as a result.Philidor 1792 - guest1321
