Move the King, protect the piece. The following Jerome Gambit is rather ordinary, with Black even following "scientific" principles and returning the sacrificed piece. Suddenly, Black's monarch has to rush in to help, and he chooses an inaccurate square - and the game finishes shortly thereafter. Very Jerome-ish.

10...Nf6 11.O-O Ng4 12.Qe2 Nh4
To prevent White from planting a Knight at d5, but it sets the Bishop up as a target for the "Jerome pawns".
14.f4 g6 15.h3 Nh6 16.f5 N6xf5 17.exf5 gxf5
Black has returned the sacrificed piece for a couple of pawns. If only he could castle Queenside now, the game would be quite interesting.
18.Re1 Kf7
Protecting the pinned Bishop, but White shows immediately why Black should have played 18...Kd7 instead.
19.Nd5 Qd7 20.Nxc7 Black resigned
