As opposed to Fried, of course...
As I wrote in "Fried Jerome Attack":
Not everyone is interested in facing the Jerome Gambit, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ (see, for example "It's a good thing I read this blog"). One way to avoid it is to play Philidor's Defense, 2...d6, instead of allowing the Italian Game with 2...Nc6. Still, one shouldn't provoke too much of an attacking spirit in the heart of the Jerome Gambiteer...
This miniature game updates and corrects a note that I gave to perrypawnpusher - azzaonnet, blitz, FICS 2009.
perrypawnpusher - LWAKE
blitz 13 0, FICS, 2009
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bc4 Nf6
4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5
A risky move against a Jerome Gambiteer.
6.Nxf7 Kxf7 7.Qf3+ Ke8
8.Bxd5Black's King must venture into danger to hold onto the piece: 7...Ke8 8.Qxd5 Qxd5 9.Bxd5, as in perrypawnpusher - xPOGOx, FICS 2009, simply leads to a Queenless middlegame a pawn down – from "Fried Jerome Attack"
Simple – and stronger than 8.Qxd5.
8...Qf6 9.Bxb7 Bxb7 10.Qxb7 Bc5
11.0-0 Kf7 12.Qxa8 Rf8 13.Qd5+ Black resigned
