Double-Perpetual

In a recent "Chess Explorations" by Edward Winter at ChessBase, a game with the opening highlighted in our last post, "A Kind of Jerome Gambit That Wins", progressed 14 moves before a draw was reached, in a rather unusual manner:


1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 Nd7 4.Bc4 h6 5.dxe5 dxe5 6.Bxf7+ Kxf7 7.Nxe5+ Kf6 8.Qf3+ Kxe5 9.Qf7 Ngf6 10.Nd2 Qe8 11.Nc4+ Kxe4 12.f3+ Kf5+ 13.Ne3+ Ke5 14.Nc4+ Kf5+ draw


(For those who are counting, this is daily post #300 to this blog.)
