Stormy

Here is the latest Jerome Gambit from Bill Wall. (Notes by Bill, unless otherwise indicated.) It features a Kingside pawn storm that proves to be Black's undoing.

Wall,B - Guest154187 
Playchess.com, 2012

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 

7.Qd5+ Kf8 8.Qxc5+ d6 9.Qe3 Nf6 

10.0-0 Kg8 

[This move seems to be a "TN", somewhere between the 10...h6 of Wall - LC, Chess.com, 2012 (1-0, 20) and the 10...Kf7 of Wall - Vijay, Chess.com, 2010 (1-0, 22) - Rick]

11.Qb3+ Kf8 12.d3 Ne5 13.f4 Neg4?! 

Better seems 13...Nc6

14.h3 Nh6 15.f5 Qe7 16.g4 Nf7 17.Nc3 c6 18.g5 Nh5 19.g6 Ne5

19...Nd8 looks stronger. White cannot penetrate yet.

20.d4 Qh4?

Black tries for counterplay, but he should defend with 20...hxg6 21.dxe5 dxe5 22.fxg6+ Nf6.

21.Ne2

To stop the 21...Qg3+ threat.  

If 21.dxe5?? then 21...Qg3+ 22.Kh1 Qxh3+ 23.Kg1 Qg3+ 24.Kh1 hxg6 threatening 25...Nf4 mate

21...Ng3? 

Not 21...Nd7?? 22.Qf7#; 

Best is 21...Nc4 22.Qxc4 hxg6 23.fxg6+ Ke8 24.Qf7+ Kd8 25.Bf4 and White should be slightly better. 

22.Nxg3  and Black runs out of good moves and resigns. 

He could play 22...Nc4, but now White plays 23.Rf3 and wins and not 23.Qxc4?? Qxg3+ 24.Kh1 Qxh3+ 25.Qg3+ 26.Kh1 hxg6+ and Black mates.
