Another Evans-Jerome Gambit

Here comes some more Evans Gambit plus Jerome Gambit aggression, faster than a speeding bullet...

Philidor 1792 - guest1209
blitz 3 0, www.bereg.ru, 2013

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 

The Evans Gambit.

4...Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.Bxf7+ 

The Evans-Jerome Gambit, a Philidor 1792 specialty.

6...Kxf7 7.Nxe5+ Nxe5 8.Qh5+ Kf8 9.Qxe5 Bb6 


10.d4 Qe7 11.Qf4+ Nf6 12.Ba3 d6 13.Nd2 Bd7 14.0-0 Re8


Black's last move is probably not best.

15.e5 g5 16.exf6 gxf4 17.fxe7+ Rxe7 18.Rfe1 Ba5 19.Rxe7 Kxe7 20.Re1+ Kf6 

The good news for White is that he has equalized. The good news for Black is that he has not been over-run by an attack.

21.Bb2 Re8 22.Rxe8 Bxe8 23.Nc4 Bb6 24.Nxb6 axb6 25.Bc1 Kf5 26.Kf1 Bb5+ 27.Ke1 Bc4 28.a3 


Most of the excitement has gone out of the game, and here the players agreed to a Draw.
