I was exploring the internet the other day, and ran across a number of fun games by Vladymyr Yurev, of Ukraine, at InstantChess.com. Some games were Jerome Gambits, some were Jerome-ish.
Clearly some of his opponents did not know what to make of his openings, and succumbed quickly.
Here is one example.
Vladymyr Yurev - MELVYN20
Instant Chess, 2017
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6
The Semi-Italian Opening. Black pursues safety by keeping the enemy Knight off of g5.
4.Bxf7+
Not everyone waits for ...Bc5 before sacrificing.
4...Kxf7 5.d4 Ke8 6.d5 Nb8 7.Nxe5 d6 8.Qh5+ Ke7 9.Qf7 checkmate
Ouch!
Nice work, Mr. Yurev!
