Twice A Year

A couple of years ago I noticed an odd Jerome Gambit variation that appeared only about "Once A Year", which was a good thing, as it included a slip by White that led to a quick checkmate of White. "Quick" as in "a handful of moves" and as in "very little time elapsed" as the games were played at lightning speed.

In January I realized that "It must be a new year..." Now I have to admit that sometimes lightning "strikes twice". Pay attention, and don't let this happen to you!
