All Over But the Annotations


The following Jerome Gambit game was over so quickly, it only seems fair to continue with some "what if?" annotations - from earlier Bill Wall games.

Wall,B - Guest2892618
PlayChess.com, 2015

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 



4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Kf6



Black needed to either move his King to a safer square - 6...Ke6 - or block the check with 6...Ng6 or 6...g6

7.Qf5+ Ke7 8.Qxe5+ Black resigned



Of course, Black could have continued with 8...Kf8 

(Instead, Wall, B - Guest1468523, PlayChess.com, 2013, continued: 8...Kf7 9.Qxc5 d6 10.Qd5+ Ke7 11.0-0 Nf6 12.Qg5 h6 13.Qxg7+ Ke6 14.d4 Black resigned.)

9.Qxc5+ d6
