Delayed...



Once again we see the "secret weapon" of the Jerome Gambit - it takes clock time for Black to solve its mysteries - come to the aid of the inventive Philidor 1792.

Philidor 1792 - guest24

3 0 blitz, www.bereg.ru, 2014

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bc4 Nc6 4.Bb3 Bc5 5.Bxf7+



A delayed Jerome Gambit. We have seen several from Philidor 1792.


In this game, Black is skeptical: how can a refuted opening be playable, a move down?


5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.d4 Bxd4 8.Qxd4 Nc6 9.Qc4+ d5 10.exd5 Qxd5 


11.Qb3 Re8+ 12.Be3 Qxb3 13.axb3 Nd5 14.0-0 


Following the old card-playing advice: play 'em like you have 'em.


14...Nxe3 15.fxe3+ Kg8 


16.Rf3 a6 17.Nc3 Be6 18.Ra4 Ne5 19.Rg3 Nf7 20.Rb4 b5 21.Ne4 Bd5 


The first sign of either nerves or time pressure.


22.Nf6+ Kf8 23.Nxd5 Re5 24.Nc3 c5 25.Re4 Rae8 26.Rxe5 Rxe5 27.Kf2 Nd6 28.Rf3+ Ke7 29.Ke2 Nf5 30.Rh3



White has a small advantage, but here Black lost on time.
