Rapid Destruction

Some games in the ongoing Jerome Gambit tournament at RedHotPawn were over in an eye-blink. I present six (plus one), for completeness sake - but don't look away, as you might miss something.

Stay with me until the end, however, as the last game is a textbook lesson in tactical suddenness!
