Familiar Territory

If you play the Jerome Gambit often, as HauntedKnight does, some lines become as familiar as one's own neighborhood.

HauntedKnight - galpone

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4 Bd6 

When I was playing over this game, I saw Black's move and chuckled. HauntedKnight practially owns this line.
