A Gimme
One nice thing about the Jerome Gambit is that your opponent can make what at first quick glance might appear to be a reasonable move - and wind up giving the game to you.
Whether you consider the following game a "gift" or a "grab", it seems to be win number 201 for Bill Wall in The Database.
Wall,B - Guest876397
playchess.com, 2013
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.f4 Nf6?
Develop a third piece, attack the Queen. What's the problem?
8.Qxe5+ Kf7 9.Qxc5 Nxe4?
Making things even worse.
10.Qd5+
Here Black, about to be down a piece and a pawn, resigned in Wall, B - Meinherr, Chess.com, 2010
10...Kf8 11.Qxe4 Qh4+
