Then You Win

Here is the latest Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) from Bill Wall, who comments modestly

I played a tough one here.  It was a 10-minute game for each side and he messed up in the end in time pressure.  He let me in the game after 38...c6 and I think he panicked on the 40th move with Nxf6 instead of Ndb6.   Up until then, I think he was winning

With all do respect to Mohandas Gandhi, who, as far as I know, never played the Jerome Gambit, the following game reminds me of something he spoke about: First they ignore... Then they laugh... Then they fight... Then you win ...
