The following position is from a Blackburne Schilling Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4) treated in Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) fashion (i.e. 4.Bxf7+).
White has done very well, and is, in fact, a Rook and two pawns ahead. Black is attacking – because that is all that is left for him to do.
When the defender relaxes, if only for a moment, a saving swindle allows the split of the point.

17.h3 Nxe3 18.fxe3 Bxh3
A sign of desperation, White may have thought.
19.gxh3
White had about 30 moves, starting with 19.Qf3, to keep his sizeable advantage. The text is not one of them.
19...Qg3+ 20.Kh1 Qxh3+ 21.Kg1 Qg3+ 22.Kh1 Qh3+ 23.Kg1 Qg3+ 24.Kh1 Qh3+ 25.Kg1 Drawn
