perrypawnpusher - LydenChess
blitz, FICS, 2011
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Nc3 Bc5
The Italian Four Knights Game.
5.Bxf7+
The Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit.
5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.d4 Bb4
This certainly has the right feel to it: Black has three pieces developed to White's one, and that one is pinned... What could go wrong?
8.dxe5 Nxe4
I hope that I do not give too much away with a note about a previous game: 8...Bxc3+ 9.bxc3 Nxe4 10.Qd5+ Black resigned, perrypawnpusher - ohforgetit, blitz, FICS, 2010.
9.Qd5+
Thus ended perrypawnpusher-kezientz, blitz, FICS, 2010.
9...Kf8
Or 9...Ke8 10.Qxe4 as in perrypawnpusher - Gibarian, blitz, FICS, 2010 (1-0, 33).
10.Qxe4 g6
Extreme puzzlement.
Before I had faced 10...Bxc3+ 11.bxc3 d6 in perrypawnpusher - obmanovichhh, blitz, FICS, 2010 (1-0, 39) and 10...Qe7 11.0-0 Bxc3 12.bxc3 d6 in perrypawnpusher - Abatwa, blitz, FICS, 2010 (1-0, 17).
11.Qxb4+ Qe7 12.Qxe7+ Kxe7 13.0-0
Old habits die hard: get an advantage, exchange Queens, be sure that the King is safe, figure out the rest later...
13...Re8
Possibly planning to castle-by-hand?
14.Nd5+ Kd8
Reacting to the threatened Knight fork of the two Rooks at c7, but leading to something worse.
15.Bg5+ Black resigned
I do not think that my opponent took our game very seriously, which is something that I am used to with the Jerome Gambit.
