Just Another Day on the Job



In the following game, Philidor1792 makes the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) look like just another day on the job. Ho-hum. Do the work. Collect the point.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 



4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 



7.Qd5+ Ke8 8.Qxc5 Nf6 9.0-0 d6 10.Qe3




Here we have a standard Jerome Gambit position. Mrjoker, for example, has reached it 21 times, and scored 76%. Perrypawnpusher has reached it 36 times, and scored 79%.

 10...Qe7 11.Nc3 Be6 12.f4 Nf8 

An improvement over 12...Ng4 as in Wall,B - Hirami,Z, Chess.com 2011(1-0, 20). 

13.f5 Bf7 14.d4 N8d7 

15.Qg3 Kf8 16.Bg5 Re8 17.Rae1 



Playing e4-e5 is "job one" for White.

17...Bc4 18.Rf3 Qf7 19.b3 Ba6 20.e5 dxe5 21.dxe5


21...Nh5 22.Qf2 Nb6 23.e6 Qg8 24.Qc5+ Black resigned



It is checkmate next move.
