The other day I ran across a game showcasing the "perfect" defense to the Jerome Gambit, at least from Black's point of view:
papaleo - psychotic
blitz, FICS, 2006
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7
White resigned.
This appears to be a significant improvement upon Brescak - Hefti, EU-ch U10 Girls, 1998, which progressed only as far as 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
and had a different outcome: Draw agreed.
Capturing the Bishop, it appears, is an essential part of the "psychotic defense."
