Here is the second game mentioned in "An Intriguing Letter (Part 1)" from Филидор1792 . It is a Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) where one slip by Black spells disaster.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6
7.Qf5+ Kd6 8.d4 Bxd4 9.Na3
9...Qf6 10.Nb5+
Putting the Knight directly into action.
10...Kc5 11.Nxd4 Kxd4 12.Be3+ Kc4 13.Qh5 Ne7
Giving White the tempo that he needs. It was not readily apparent that Black needed to play 13...Kb5.
14.Qe2+ Kb4 15.a4 Qc6 16.Qd2+ Kc4 17.b3 checkmate
