Jerome Gambit: Enthusiast

I received a number of games from a Jerome Enthusiast. There are some short ones in the notes, but the longest one has a very nice checkmate.

A normal Jerome Gambit position. There are 130 games with it in The Database. Black has the extra piece, White has 2 extra pawns. White's King is safer.

To interrupt Black's plan of castling-by-hand.

The "Jerome pawns" in action! It was probably time for Black to return his piece for two pawns, with 17...Nxe5 18.dxe5 Rxe5 and a roughly equal game. His response, however, gives him a loose pawn at e4, and allows further "Jerome pawn" action.
