Here is the latest Jerome Gambit from angelcamina, played, as usual, at bullet speed (one minute, no increment) at lichess.org. The danger of open lines against the enemy King is amply illustrated.
angelcamina - night-moves
1 0 bullet, lichess.org, 2020
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.f4 g6
In a 1-minute game, attacking the Queen can seem like a good thing to do; figuring out how to respond would at least take some clock time. Just night-moves luck, however, angelcamino had faced this weak defense (The Database says White scores 76%) a few months earlier, so he was familiar with it.
8.Qxe5+ Kf7 9.Qxc5
Taking the Rook was a little bit stronger, but the text still leaves White better - and his Queen can respond to a possible 9...Qh4+ with 10.Qf2.
9...Qe7 10.Qd5+ Kf8 11.O-O Nf6
White is up a couple of pawns, and has the safer King.
12.Qb3 Nxe4 13.Nc3 Nxc3 14.dxc3 d6
White now opens a file and a diagonal, and the game comes to a brutal conclusion.
15.f5 gxf5 16.Bh6+ Ke8 17.Rae1 Kd7 18.Rxe7+ Kxe7 19.Re1+ Kd7 20.Qb5+ Black resigned
