At this point in the tournament I had two games left to complete, both against brain50. That made this game my last chance with the White pieces and the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+)

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6 7.Qxe5 Nf6
A move seen on this blog before in perrypawnpusher - MsD, FICS rated blitz game, 2007 (see "Les Femmes des Echecs...& the Jerome Gambit") and which I'd faced a few years earlier, perrypawnpusher - Alternative, FICS rated blitz game, 2005: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6 7.Qxe5 Nf6 8.Qxc5 d6 9.Qe3 Re8 10.d3 Kg7 11.0-0 d5 12.Qh6+ Kg8 13.exd5 Nxd5 14.Nc3 Nxc3 15.bxc3 Qf6 16.Bd2 Qg7 17.Rae1 Rxe1 18.Rxe1 Qxh6 19.Bxh6 Bf5 20.Re7 Rc8 21.Bf4 Kf8 22.Rxc7 Rxc7 23.Bxc7 Ke7 24.Kf1 Kd7 25.Be5 Kc6 26.Bd4 a6 27.c4 b5 28.cxb5+ axb5 29.a3 Be6 30.Ke2 Bd5 31.g3 Ba2 32.c3 Kd5 33.Ke3 Bb1 34.Bg7 Ba2 35.f4 Bb1 36.h3 Bc2 37.g4 Ke6 38.Ke4 Kf7 39.Bd4 h6 40.f5 g5 41.Kf3 Bxd3 42.Kg3 Be2 43.h4 Bd1 44.hxg5 hxg5 45.Be3 Kf6 46.Bb6 Ke5 47.Bd8 Ke4 48.Bxg5 Kd3 49.Bf6 Kc4 50.g5 Kb3 51.g6 Bh5 52.Kf4 Kxa3 53.Kg5 Bd1 54.Kh6 Bb3 55.Kg7 b4 56.cxb4 Kxb4 57.Kf8 Kc5 58.Be7+ Kd5 59.f6 Ke5 60.g7 Kf5 61.g8Q Bxg8 62.Kxg8 Kg6 63.f7 1-0
By playing 7...Nf6, Black gives back the sacrificed piece, leaving White a pawn up in a balanced position. That's more than I usually get with 1.e4 e5 and a whole lot more than what I usually get with the Jerome Gambit.
Black should have played 7...Qe7, Whistler's Defense, as I did against blackburne ("Jerome Gambit Tournament: Chapter VIII") and as my buddy A. B. Hailey faced ("Beware: Mad Dog!").
8.Qxc5 d6
Black could have tried 8...Nxe4 on this or the next move: the open e-file leading up to White's King makes this possible.
9.Qe3
Vazquez played 9.Qc3 in his match game against Carrington (see "Flaws (Part II)").
9...Be6 10.0-0 Rf8 11.Nc3 Kg7 12.d3
Brain 50 has castled-by-hand, and has an edge in development, while I have a couple of extra pawns. No need for me to do anything exciting, just slowly build my advantage.
12...c513.f4 Ng4 14.Qg3 Rc8
After the game Rybka suggested 14...h5 15.h3 h4 16.Qe1 Nh6 17.Bd2 Bd7 18.Qe3 Re8 19.Nd5. The waves are still going to break over the Black King's head.
15.f5 gxf5 16.h3
Better here was 16.exf5, as 16...Bxf5 would have been answered by 17.Rxf5 Rxf5 18.Qg4+. Black now went in for a series of exchanges.
16...f4 17.Bxf4 Rxf4 18.Rxf4 Qg5 19.Rxg4 Bxg4 20.Qxg4 Qxg4 21.hxg4
White's extra piece will prevail.
21...Kg6 22.Rf1 Rh8 23.Rf5 a6 24.Nd5 Black resigned
