Sometimes, when I'm in a Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) mood, especially when I'm in the position to give "Jerome Gambit odds," I tend to see many openings – some only distantly related to the Italian Game – as Jerome-izeable.

blitz 10 0 FICS, 2009
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 a6
This move was news to me, but I just checked ChessBase's online games database and it has almost 360 examples, played by people like Bogoljubow, Reshevsky, and Steiner, so maybe it's just out of fashion.4.0-0 Bb4
Ok, this is a bit odd. It reminds me of Alapin's defense to the Ruy Lopez: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Bb4. If I can kick the Bishop back to the 5th rank, though...5.c3 Ba5 6.Bxf7+
Now, Perry, you know you had a good game with 6.d4...
But, Doctor, I can't help myself!
6...Kxf7 7.Nxe5+ Nxe5 8.Qh5+ g6
Instead, 8...Kf8 9.Qxe5 Bb6 led to a Black advantage.9.Qxe5 Bb6 10.Qxh8
White is up the exchange and two pawns, but what is equally important is that Black feels like he's slipped and missed a step somewhere.10...d6 11.Qxh7+ Kf8 12.d4 Qf6 13.Bh6+ Ke8
Rapidly going from bad to worse...14.Qxg8+ Kd7 15.e5 dxe5 16.dxe5 Qxe5 17.Rd1+ Kc6
18.Qxg6+ Kb5 19.a4+ Ka5 20.b4 checkmate
