5-Minute Chess is Sometimes Daffy
5-minute chess means that each side has 300 seconds to win the game, or lose on time. In a 30-move game, that means about 10 seconds of thought a move. Under such conditions, the chess can become rather daffy.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Kf8 7.Qxe5 Bd6
Playable, although more defenders prefer the simpler 7...d6 as it allows for easier development of the light-squared Bishop.
8.Qa5
A new move Bill introduced a while back.
8...Ne7
Or 8...Qf6 as in billwall - firewine, Chess.com, 2010 (1-0, 53)
9.d4 Nc6 10.Qf5+ Ke8
An indication that Black might be unfamiliar with the Jerome Gambit, as 10...Qf6 would seem to be the safest idea here.
11.d5 Nd4 12.Qh5+ g6 13.Qd1
Half of White's moves have been with his Queen, yet the game is about equal.
13...Qh4
Not a good time to follow the leader.
14.Qxd4 Rf8 15.Nc3 c5 16.dxc6 dxc6 17.Be3 Bc7 18.0-0-0 Bg4 19.f3 Rd8 20.Nd5
The tactics heat up.
20...Bb6
Taking the Knight leads to exchanges: 20...cxd5 21.exd5 Kf7 22.Qxg4 Qxg4 23.fxg4.
21.Qe5+ Kf7 22.Bg5 Black resigned
