Time for the last Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) match-up between The Perfesser and the silicon mini-mite! The computer is set to analyze a bit deeper.
How deep does the average club player analyze?
The Perfesser - Talking LDC Chess (4 ply)
casual game 2003
Finally, I set Excalibur to 4 ply and tried the promising Qe2 line from the notes above (see "Jerome Gambit and The Perfesser (Part III)"):
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.f4 d6 8.fxe5 g6 9.Qe2
9...Kxe5? 10.Rf1!
Here the computer "thought" for over a minute. I think Black may be lost at this point.
10...Qh4+
Alternatives: 10...Ke6 11.b4! Bb6 ( 11...Bd4 12.Qc4++-) 12.Qg4+ Ke7 13.Qg5+ Ke8 14.Qxd8+ Kxd8 15.Bb2+-; 10...Bb6 11.b3! looks very dangerous for Black because of the hanging Rook at h8, e.g. 11...Bd4 12.c3 Bb6 13.d4+ Ke6 14.Qg4+ Ke7 15.Bg5+ Ke8 16.Rf8+ Kxf8 17.Qf4+ Nf6 18.Bxf6 Qd7 19.Bxh8+ and White has emerged a pawn up.
11.g3 Qg4 12.d4+ Bxd4 13.Bf4+ Kf6 14.Bxd6+
14...Kg5
14...Kg7 15.Bf8# is very attractive.
15.Qd2+ Kh5 16.Qxd4 cxd6 17.Rf4!
17.Qxh8?? Qxe4+! would turn the tables on White.
17...Qd7 18.Rh4+ Kg5 19.Nd2 h5 20.Qxh8 Qf7 21.Rf4! Qxf4 22.gxf4+ Kxf4 23.Qxg8
... and I resigned for the computer since there is no point in playing out this position.
1-0
