Here's the latest "Delayed Jerome Gambit" from Bill Wall.
An execution delayed is still an execution.
Wall,B - Santiago,D
Chess.com, 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.
The Semi-Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit, or the Delayed Jerome Gambit, if you will.
6...Kxf7 7.Nxe5+ Nxe5 8.d4 Re8?!
Not exactly new, and not exactly bad, but not exactly best, either.
9.dxc5 Kg8?!
Completing the castling-by-hand.
10.f4 Nc4
Certainly there was nothing wrong with 10...Nf7 or 10...Nc6. Mr. Santiago seems destined to reaffirm the belief: "You can play anything against the Jerome Gambit (if you are willing to risk a loss)."
11.e5 Nh7
Now the other horse wobbles.
It was probably time to give the piece back for a couple of pawns with 11...Nxe5 12.fxe5 Rxe5, although White is better after 13.Qd3, for example 13...Rxc5 14.Bxh6.
12.Qd5+ Kh8 13.Qxc4 b6
14.Nd5 bxc5 15.Qxc5 c6 16.Nb4 a5 17.Nd3 Nf8 18.f5
Those annoying "Jerome pawns" are putting a cramp in Black's game.
18...Ba6 19.c4 Rb8 20.b3 d5 21.exd6 Nd7 22.Qxc6 Bb7 23.Qc7 Qf6
24.Qxd7 Qxa1 25.Bb2 Qxf1+ 26.Kxf1 Rg8 27.Qe6 Rbe8 28.Qxh6 checkmate
