Jerome Gambit: Drilling Down (25)
Further exploration into the 7...d6 line of defense in the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) shows that it is more effective than it looks: Black's King is not so unsafe, and White's King can get into its own trouble.
RevvedUp - Hiarcs 8
blitz 2 12, 2006
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6
7.f4 d6 8.fxe5 dxe5 9.Rf1
As in "Jerome Gambit: Drilling Down (24)".
9...Nf6 10.Qe2 Ke7 11.d3 Bg4
Hiarcs 8 varies from 11...Qd4 that Fritz 8 played in the previous game.
12.Qd2 Qd4 13.c3 Qd6
It doesn't seem right that White has sacrificed two pieces to get into this position.
14.b4 Bb6 15.a4 Rhf8
Black can even ignore the threat of h4-h5, trapping his Bishop.
16.Qc2 Nxe4
A sacrifice, which accepted, will lead to mate.
17.dxe4 Rxf1+ 18.Kxf1 Rf8+ 19.Ke1 Bf2+ 20.Kf1 Bh4+ 21.Kg1 Qb6+ 22.Kh1 Rf1 checkmate
Brutal.
