Jerome Gambit: Drilling Down (6)

RevvedUp and Hiarcs 8 continue their investigation of the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) Blackburne variation. It's great to have an analysis partner 1,000 rating points higher than you; but it's frustrating when it gets to all of the improvements first...
