Once again taking up arms against the Jerome Gambit! It made me feel like some kind of a turncoat, although I did realize that to actually win the tournament I would need to win with the opening, too.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nc3

9.Bh4 d6 10.h3 Be6 11.Nd5 Bxd5 12.exd5 Nd4 13.Nxd4 Bxd4 14.c3 Bb6
Careful play and the exchange of pieces brings me step-by-step closer to a won endgame.
15.Kh1 Qd7 16.Qc2 Nxd5 17.c4 Nf4 18.Bg3 Nxh3
Offering a piece for a few pawns and open lines against the White King. Hogmaster declines.
19.Rae1 Nf4 20.Bxf4 Rxf4 21.Re4 Raf8
22.Qe2 Rxf2 23.Rxf2 Rxf2 24.Qg4 Qxg4 25.Rxg4 Rxb2 0-1
