Shades of "Jerome's Double Gamble", the following game is the only one in the current Italian Game Thematic Tournament at Chess.com where I was able to play a Jerome Gambit - and it has the same feel as Bill Wall's last game: the wrong opponent at the wrong time...

Italian Game Thematic Tournament, Chess.com, 2014
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6
7.Qf5+ Kd6 8.f4 Qh4+ 9.g3 Qf6 10.fxe5+ Qxe5
11.Qf3 Nf6 12.d3 Ke7 13.Nc3 d5
14.Bf4 dxe4 15.dxe4 Qh5 16.Qxh5 Nxh5 17.Nd5+ Kd7 18.Nxc7
In retrospect, 18.Bxc7 was better, although White's game would remain difficult.
18...Nxf4 19.Nxa8 Ng2+ 20.Ke2 Kc6 21.Kf3 Ne3 22.b4 Rf8+ 23.Ke2 Bg4+ 24.Kd3 Rd8+ 25.Kc3 Bd4+ 26.Kd3 Bxa1+ 27.Kxe3 Be5 White resigned
