What goes around comes around

A while back (see "A Sneaky Way to Defeat the Jerome Gambit") I discovered a new defense to the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+).

Called the "d/r/a" Defense, it requires the second player to disconnect from the online playing site (in my case, FICS) after a few moves, refuse any attempts to continue the game, and then have the game ajudicated in Black's favor due to having more material.

Hence:

blitz FICS, 2010

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 7.Qd5+ Black wins by ajudication.


Today I chanced to play another game with the same opponent, who will remain anonymous. Here is how it went:

perrypawnpusher - "anonymous"
blitz FICS, 2010

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6 7.Qe5 d6 8.Qxh8 Black resigned
