BSJG: Counter-Surprise

When you play bullet chess - say, with a time limit of one minute, no increment - the element of surprise can be an effective weapon. I mean, say, what if you are planning on playing an Evans Gambit as White, but your opponent switches things up with an unusual counter-gambit?

This might have been what happened in Angel Camiña's recent lichess.org 1 0 game - except that he probably was planning on playing the Jerome Gambit, and he also had his own counter- surprise.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4 

The Blackburne Shilling Gambit. Blackburne might have played the opening, but I haven't found any of his games with it. (Black whispers: take the pawn, take the pawn, take the pawn...)

4.Bxf7+

The Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit. I haven't found any games with it played by Alonzo Wheeler Jerome, but you know he would have loved to give it a try. (Black face palms and whispers: not that pawn...)

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Ke8 6.Qh5+ Ke7

7.Qf7+ Kd6 8.Nc4+ Kc6 9.Qd5 checkmate

(Black: Ouch)
