The Evans Jerome Gambit Declined

Philidor 1792's gambit play is out-running my naming nomenclature! In the game below, Black manages to decline the Evans Gambit, but accepts the Evans Jerome Gambit. I think...


Philidor 1792 - guest344
3 0 blitz, www.bereg.ru, 2013

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 




The Evans Gambit. This time, Black declines the pawn.


4...Bb6 5.b5 Na5 6.Bxf7+ 




The Evans (Declined) Jerome Gambit?!


6...Kxf7 7.Nxe5+ Kf8 8.Bb2 


Varying from 8.d3 as in Philidor 1792 - guest2019, 3 0 blitz, www.bereg.ru, 2013 (1-0, 33) and 8.Qf3+ as in Philidor 1792 - guest343, 3 0 blitz, www.bereg.ru, 2013 (1-0, 41). 


8...Qh4 9.Qe2 Nf6 10.d3 d6 11.Nf3 Qh5 12.Nbd2 Kf7 13.0-0 Re8 




14.Rfe1 d5 15.e5 c6 16.a4 Bg4 17.h3 Bxf3 18.Nxf3 Re6



This gives White a target, and his pieces quickly swing into action.


19.Qd2 Nd7 20.Ng5+ Ke7 21.Nxe6 Kxe6 22.Bc3 Black resigned
