In the following online blitz game, Black "surprises" White with the Blackburne Shilling Gambit - only to be surprised, in turn, by receiving the Jerome Gambit treatment. Things go steadily in White's direction, until he makes a slip, and that is Black's chance; but he misses it.

3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2019
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4 4.Bxf7+
Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit.
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Ke8 6.Qh5+ g6 7.Nxg6 Qf6
Interesting, but 7...hxg6 had to be played.
8.Nxh8+ Ke7 9.e5 Nxc2+ 10.Kd1 Qxf2 11.Qf7+
With fast time controls, this kind of thing can happen. The safe path was to snap up the advanced Knight with 11.Kxc2.
Okay, Black has his chance. Can he exit the highway to oblivion?
11...Kd8
Inertia. Instead, 11...Qxf7 12.Nxf7 Nxa1 would give him the advantage.
12.Qxf2 Black resigned.
And so it goes. angelcamina doesn't give many chances.
