An Intriguing Letter (Part 3)



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
