The first time we played, my opponent pretty much manhandled me. This time? Not so much. The difference? My opponent forgot to insert a particular move into his defense before going on the attack.
perrypawnpusher - HRoark
blitz, FICS, 2011
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6
The Semi-Italian Opening.
HRoark had experience playing the Jerome Gambit himself a couple of years ago: 3...Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.d4 exd4 6.Ng5+ Kf8 7.Qf3+ Qf6 8.0-0 Qxf3 9.Nxf3 Nf6 10.e5 Ng4 11.Bg5 Ngxe5 12.Nxe5 Nxe5 13.Bf4 d6 14.Re1 d3 15.Bxe5 dxe5 16.Rxe5 Bd6 17.Rd5 dxc2 18.Nc3 Be6 19.Rd2 Bb4 20.Rxc2 Bxc3 21.Rxc3 c6 22.Re1 Re8 23.Rf3+ Bf7 24.Rxe8+ Kxe8 25.Re3+ Kd7 White resigned, HRoark - jgknight, FICS, 2009.
4.0-0 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bc5 6.Bxf7+
The Semi-Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit.
6...Kxf7 7.Nxe5+ Nxe5 8.d4 Bxd4 9.Qxd4 d6
10.f4 Nc6 11.Qd3 Rf8
Or 11...Be6 as in perrypawnpusher - HRoark, blitz, FICS, 2010 (0-1, 40).
12.Bd2 Kg8 13.Rae1
Black has done well, starting with castling-by-hand to safeguard his King, and he only needs to choose an effective plan to move from having the advantage to having a win.
13...Nb4
Simply irresistible, as Robert Palmer sings.
Instead, 13...Be6 continues his march to victory.
14.Qc4+ Nbd5 15.exd5
Actually, 15.Nxd5 was a bit better.
15...Kh8 16.Ne4 a6
17.Bc3 b5 18.Qd3 Bf5 19.Qd4 c5
20.dxc6ep Nxe4
A slip. I think that Black overlooked the enpassant capture, but now he appears to see the win of the exchange with 21.Rxe4 Bxe4 22.Qxe4.
21.Qxg7 checkmate
