Delayed Declined Evans Jerome Gambit!?

As Philidor 1792 continues to expand his creativity in developing the Evans Gambit / Jerome Gambit hybrid, I struggle to keep up with names for the lines...

Here's another 3 0 smasher.


Philidor 1792 - guest2019 [C50]

3-minutes blitz www.bereg.ru (1), 20.10.2013

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bb6 



Declining the pawn.

5.b5 Na5 6.Bxf7+ 

White will have his gambit, anyway!

6...Kxf7 7.Nxe5+ Kf8 8.d3

White's attack began to run down after 8.Qf3+ Qf6 9.Qxf6+ Nxf6 in Castled - perrypawnpusher, blitz 3 0, FICS, 2008 (0-1, 42).

In the current game, 8.Bb2 was probably best.

8...Qf6 

Here and on the next move Black misses a chance to cause mischief with ...Bd4

9.Qf3 d6 10.Qxf6+ gxf6 11.Nf3 Ne7 



Black has a piece for two pawns, but he is in unfamiliar territory, and soon loses that advantage in a Queenside skirmish.

12.Bh6+ Kf7 13.Nc3 a6 14.a4 Bd7 15.Ke2 axb5 16.axb5 c6 17.Na4 Bc5 18.b6 Nc8 19.Nxc5 dxc5 20.Bd2 Nxb6 21.Bxa5


21...Ra6 22.Rhb1 Nc8 23.Rxb7 Ke6 24.Bc3 Rxa1 25.Bxa1 Nd6 26.Rb3 Ra8 27.Bc3 Ra2 



As time winds down, Black's harassing Rook will trap itself.

28.Rb2 Ra1 29.Nd2 Rh1 30.h3 Rh2 31.Kf3 Nf7 32.Rb1 Ng5+ 33.Kg3 Black resigned
