Jerome Gambit: Getting Carried Away With the Counter-Attack

One way to win a chess game quickly is to play quickly. Of course, that is also a way to lose quickly. Of course, in 1-minute chess, everything happens quickly.

In the following game, Black is doing well until he gets carried away with his attack

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 7.Qd5+ Ke8 8.Qxc5 d6 9.Qe3 Nf6 

It feels like there are a gazillion games with this position in The Database, but there are actually only 203. Still, White scores 71%, so that's worth mentioning, too. (angelcamina got here in under 5 seconds.)

10.O-O Kf7 11.f4 Qe7 12.Nc3 Re8 13.d3 Ng4 

When in doubt, hassle the enemy Queen.

14.Qg3 d5 

Sometimes the computer can be boring: it recommends, instead, 14...Nf6. The pawn at d5 is at risk.

15.e5 Kg8 16.Nxd5 Qc5+ 17.Ne3 Nxe3 18.Bxe3 Qxc2 

The position is about even, but Black's forces carelessly rush ahead. This can be dangerous in bullet chess.
