The following Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game is a humorous miniature, where RevvedUp finds just the proper threat to cause Yace Paderborn to panic and yield the draw. Human totally out-foxes computer.
Yace Paderborn - RevvedUp blitz 2 12, 2006
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6
7.Qxc5 No "nudging" check of the King this time.
7...d6 8.Qd5+ Kf8
9.d3 Nf6 10.Qb3 b6 11.0-0 Qe7
White has reached a reasonable Jerome Gambit position where he has two pawns for his sacrificed piece. No doubt Yace Paderborn sees itself as being about a pawn behind in the game. This would hardly trouble a human gambiteer, but when the computer spots an escape from this situation – to a draw – it takes it.
Readers can decide for themselves if a draw is a positive outcome for the first player in a Jerome game – when he outranks his opponent by 1,000 points.
