Speaking of Bill Wall...

Speaking of Jerome Gambit Gemeinde member Bill Wall (see my reference in "Off Road Rambling"), he recently sent another handful of Jerome Gambit games – which I, of course, dutifully added to the updated New Year's Database: now containing over 18,300 Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+), Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4 4.Bxf7+), and Semi-Italian Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6 4.0-0/4.Nc3/4.d3 Bc5 5.Bxf7+) games (and free for the asking).

Here's a quick game where Bill stares a Jerome Gambit refutation in the eye: and his opponent blinks first.

Wall,B - Sepoli

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6

7.Qxe5 Qe7

Whistler's Defense, a powerful anti-Jerome Gambit gambit. 

8.Qxh8

Wow! He takes the Rook...

8...Qf6

As far as I know, 8...Qxe4+ instead here is crushing.

Has Bill discovered something new?? Or is this another "Jerome Gamble"?

We can't tell from this game, as Black is playing only "half" a Whistler Defense.

9.Qxh7+ Kf8 10.0-0 Black resigned
