Did anyone get the license plate of that truck??

Here is a recent, light, quick game from MrJoker, at the Internet Chess Club. His opponent must have felt like he had been run over by a truck. Did anyone get the license plate number?

 
MrJoker  - enelec,
blitz 2 12, Internet Chess Club, 2011

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bb4

In all fairness, it is hard to tell if this move is an ultra-modern refinement of the double King pawn opening, or a mouse-slip. (Semyon Alapin used to play 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Bb4 in the Spanish Game.)

I faced a similar idea (after 3...a6 4.0-0) in my game against dabbling. Actually, MrJoker faced the same move a week earlier; see below.

4.c3 Ba5 5.Bxf7+

Giving the opening the Jerome treatment.

5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.Qh5+ Ke6


Or 7...Ng6 8.Qd5+ Ke8 9.Qxa5 Qe7 10.d3 Nf6 11.0-0 b6 12.Qg5 d6 13.f4 Bd7 14.Nd2 Bb5 15.c4 Bc6 16.b3 a5 17.Ba3 Qf7 18.f5 Ne5 19.d4 h6 20.Qh4 Neg4 21.Rae1 Kd7 22.h3 h5 23.hxg4 hxg4 24.Qg3 Rh6 25.Kf2 Nh5 26.Qxg4 Rf8 27.d5 Bb7 28.Ke3 Kc8 29.f6+ Kb8 30.fxg7 Nf6 31.gxf8Q+ Qxf8 32.Qg5 Qh8 33.Rxf6 Rxf6 34.Bb2 Rg6 35.Bxh8 Rxg5 36.Re2 Rg3+ 37.Nf3 c6 38.Kf4 Rg8 39.Bd4 c5 40.Bc3 Bc8 41.e5 Rg4+ 42.Ke3 dxe5 43.Nxe5 Rg3+ 44.Nf3 Bg4 45.Be5+ Kc8 46.Bxg3 Black resigned, MrJoker - WhiteKnight-1, blitz 2 12, ICC, 2011.

8.Qf5+ Kd6 9.d4 Qf6

Normally, a reliable defensive idea. But not today.

10.dxe5+ Qxe5 11.Bf4 Black resigned
