Another: Huh?

The new batch of games that I collected from FICS continues to puzzle me. Here's a game that has to be an example of the "shock and awe" that the Jerome Gambit engenders.


marcialm - Nbella
blitz, FICS, 2012


1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.d3 




A Delayed Jerome Gambit, transposing into a Semi-Italian Jerome Gambit.


4...h6 5.Bxf7+ Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.Qh5+ Ng6 8.Qxc5 Black resigned


Black has the traditional piece-for-two-pawns edge in material, but apparently the ferocity of the Jerome has been enough for him for one game..
