blitz 10 0, FICS, 2010
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 a6
Maybe he'll play ...Bc5 next move...
4.0-0 h6
Come on, this is teasing...(I'm pretty sure that Bill Wall would sac his Bishop now, anyway.)
5.Nc3 Nf6
Rats.
6.d3 Bc5
Too late?
Actually, my database has 4 games that match the position after 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7 Discouragingly, White won 1 of the games and lost 3.
I resigned myself to an ordinary game.
7.Be3 Qe7 8.Nd5 Nxd5 9.Bxd5
9...Nb4
Instead, 9...0-0 keeps the game even.
10.Bb3
Vatt? Not 10.Nxe5? Interesting...
10...Bxe3 11.fxe3 Qc5
Black should have castled and kept the game in balance.
12.Bxf7+
That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more... (Okay, Popeye the Sailor Man used to say that.)
12...Kxf7
13.Nxe5+ Ke7
Or 13...Kg8 14.Qh5 for the full Jerome effect.
14.Ng6+ Kd6 15.d4 Qg5
Those almost look like "Jerome pawns" out there.
16.e5+
Virtually irresistible, but 16.Qd2 was even stronger.
16...Kd5
After the game, Rybka suggested instead 16...Kc6 17.Qe2 d5 18.Nxh8 Kb6 19.Qd2 when Black's King has found some refuge, but White is ahead the exchange and two pawns.
17.Qf3+ Kc4
The tactically skilled Reader is urged to "find the checkmate" in this position.
18.b3+
Find the mate? It was 18.Qe2+ Kd5 19.e4+ Kxd4 20.c3+ Kc5 21.cxb4+ Kxb4 22.a3+ Ka5 23.b4+ Kb6 24.Qf2+ Qe3 25.Qxe3+ Kb5 26.a4+ Kxb4 27.Qd4+ Kb3 28.Rab1+ Kc2 29.Rfc1.
At least that's what Rybka told me after the game.

18...Kb5 19.c4+ Kb6 20.Nxh8
Okay, I missed the checkmate, but I have two pawns for the exchange and my position is easier to play.
20...d6 21.exd6 c6
Black's last two moves have not helped him. White does not have to go after the King any more; he has other threats.
22.Nf7 Qg6 23.e4 Bd7
24.Ne5 h5
Mercifully ending the game.
25.Nxg6 Black resigned
