The question arises, again: how much work do you have to do to beat Bill Wall's Jerome Gambit?
Wall,B - JKBK
FICS, 2012
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 7.Qd5+ Ke7 8.Qxc5+
There is also the interesting 8.Qg5+, seen in Wall,B - CKFM, FICS, 2012 (1-0, 44).
8...d6 9.Qa5
Or, for variety, there still is 9.Qg5+ as in billwall - buhov, Chess.com, 2010 (1-0, 32).
9...Nf6 10.0-0 b6 11.Qa3 Rf8
This certainly seems correct: while White runs his Queen around, Black castles-by-hand and safeguards his monarch.
12.f4 Kf7 13.f5 Ne7 14.Qb3+ d5 15.e5 Ne4 16.d3 Nc5 17.Qc3 Kg8
18.b4 Nb7 19.f6 Ng6 20.a4 gxf6 21.exf6 Be6 22.Bb2 Bf7
23.Qd2 Nd6?
How fragile the position... This allows White to equalize, which is almost like a winning advantage for Mr. Wall.
24.Qh6 Ne8 25.Nd2 d4
How can shutting out the White Bishop be wrong? When it lets the White Knight in.
26.Ne4 Bd5 27.Ng5 Qd7 28.f7+
Remember me?
28...Rxf7 29.Rxf7 Bxf7 30.Qxh7+ Kf8 31.Rf1 Nd6 32.Qxg6 Black resigned
Black will lose significant material.
