I have posted on this blog various novelties and critical variations in the Jerome Gambit. I have shared Jerome blindfold games and games that are over after only a few sips of coffee.
One of my favorite types of Jerome Gambit games is the one that announces, once again, "This is why I play the Jerome".
The following game - the latest from chessfriend Vlasta Fejfar - is a good example. White enters a line that he has played successfully before. Black is just getting comfortable in his defense, when he gets too comfortable - and a tactical shot turns the game into a miniature win by White.

13.Qxf6+ Qxf6 14.Nxd5+ Black resigned
