Here's another game, a Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+), that was over before it was actually over. Maybe my opponent had heard scary things about the opening. Maybe he just thought he could do better with the White pieces. (He could: he beat me the next game.)
perrypawnpusher - Langan
blitz 8 0, FICS, 2009
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+
6...Ke6
A strong move. Perhaps Langan is familiar with the Jerome?
7.Qf5+ Kd6 8.f4 Qh4+
The best move at this point, although 8...Qf6 is also fine.
9.g3 Qf6
For the suprising and suprisingly good 9...Nf3+, see "Tied Up, or How Much is A Queen Worth?" and "Jerome Gambit Tournament: Chapter II".
10.fxe5+ Qxe5 Black resigns
A bit of a surprise, as Black has the significant advantage of a piece for a pawn. Unlike yesterday's game, time was not an issue. No word from my opponent, just a challenge for another game.
I've reached this position before, and the game went: 11.Qxe5+ Kxe5 12.b4 Bf8 13.0-0 Nf6 14.Bb2+ Ke6 15.b5 a6 16.a4 axb5 17.axb5 Rxa1 18.Bxa1 b6 19.e5 Nd5 20.c4 Nb4 21.d4 c6 22.Bc3 g5 23.Rf6+ Ke7 24.Bxb4+ Ke8 25.Rxf8+ Rxf8 26.Bxf8 Kxf8 27.Nc3 Kf7 28.Kf2 Ke6 29.Ke3 Kf5 30.Ne4 d5 31.exd6 Bd7 32.bxc6 Bxc6 33.d5 Bd7 34.g4+ Kg6 35.h3 h6 36.c5 bxc5 37.Nxc5 Bb5 38.d7 Bxd7 Black resigned, perrypawnpusher - Kevin the fruitbat, JG3 thematic, Chessworld, 2008
