Not Quite Jerome-Inspired Games (Part 2)


Here we have another manic three-minute game showing the three secrets to winning blitz chess: attack, attack, attack.

Philidor 1792 - guest2151
3-minutes blitz www.bereg.ru, 24.12.2013

1.e4 Nf6 2.Bc4 e5 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.Bb3 a5


After offering an Alekhine Defense, but showing no interest in participating in the Krejcik Gambit, Black finds an interesting way to avoid a Delayed Jerome Gambit.

White goes for a Chicago or Halloween Gambit, sacrificing a Knight on e5 (without having sacrificed the Bishop on f7). Of course, 5.Nc3 would have been just fine for White.

5.Nxe5 Nxe5 6.d4 Nc6 7.d5 Ne5 8.f4 Ng6 9.e5 Ng8


10.h4 Nxh4 11.d6 cxd6 12.Qh5 



12...Nxg2+ 13.Kf2 g6 14.Qh3 dxe5 15.Qxg2 exf4


16.Qd5 Qb6+ 17.Kf3 d6 18.Qxf7+ Kd8 19.Qxf8+ Kc7 20.Qg7+ Black resigned
