perrypawnpusher - DeDaapse
blitz 2 12, FICS, 2010
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6
The Semi-Italian Opening.
4.0-0 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bc5
The Semi-Italian Four Knights Game.
6.Bxf7+
The Semi-Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit (known to me personally as the Why-Am-I-Still-Playing-This Opening??).
6...Kxf7 7.Nxe5+ Nxe5 8.d4
For his sacrificed piece White will have a pawn, a semi-exposed King target – and a lot of high hopes.
8...Bxd4 9.Qxd4 Nc6
10.Qc4+ Kg6
Cue the ominous background violin music... This move was last seen in my debacle that was chronicled in "Bloodied but Unbowed".
11.f4
After the game Rybka suggested the sharper 11.Qd3, which is something that I will keep in mind if I ever pass this way again.
The idea is that after 11...Nb4 White can keep Black busy enough that the threat to c2 (and then the Rook at a1) never comes into play: 12.Qg3+ Kh7 13.e5 Ne8 14.f4 Qe7 15.f5 Qf7 16.Rf2 Rf8 17.Be3 d6 18.e6 Qh5 19.Raf1 Nf6 and Black's edge is small.

11...Re8
An earlier game saw 11...Rf8 12.f5+ Kh7 13.g4 Nxg4 14.Qe2 Nf6 15.e5 Nd4 16.Qf2 Ng4 17.Qxd4 Qh4 18.Qf4 d5 19.f6 gxf6 20.Nxd5 fxe5 21.Qe4+ Kg7 22.Bxh6+ Qxh6 23.Qg2 Be6 24.h3 Bxd5 25.Qxg4+ Kh8 26.Kh2 Qd2+ White resigned, perrypawnpusher - mjmonday, blitz FICS, 2010.
Both Rook moves are fine. A bit stronger would have been 11...d6.
12.f5+
There is not much of a threat in this move – and White needs threats to stay in the game. He still had to try 12.Qd3, as 12...d6 13.e5+ Bf5 14.Qg3+ Kh7 15.exf6 Qxf6 left him only a pawn down.

12...Kh7 13.Bf4 d6
White's "Jerome pawns" are frozen. Chances for the first player are dwindling.
14.Rae1 Ne5 15.Bxe5
A desperate kind of move that accomplishes nothing. I was getting seriously out-played.
15...Rxe5 16.Qd3 Qe7 17.Qg3
17...Bd7 18.Qg6+ Kh8 19.g4
The final mishap.
19...Be8 White resigned
