Delayed Evans Jerome Gambit (Part 3)


In the following game, the third Delayed Evans Jerome Gambit played by Philidor 1792 against his opponent, Black comes up with an improvement, getting the Queens off of the board and stifling much of the danger of White's attack.

Alas, Black's game improves at the cost of time on his clock, and that can be critical in a 3-minute game.

Black's situation on the board is fine, but his situation on his clock is lethal. Here Black lost on time.
