Jerome Gambit: Act in Haste, Repent at Leisure



Bullet chess. One minute, no increment. Think fast. Move fast. But not too fast...

In the following game, Black takes everything White throws at him. Does it leave him scared - or confident?

Or over-confident?

[Insert laugh track here.]

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 

The Two Knights Defense.

4.Bxf7+ 


Another "impatient" Jerome Gambit, sacrificing the Bishop before ...Bc5.

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4 Ng6 7.e5 Ng8 


White's e-pawn is aggressive, but, remember, Black is two pieces ahead.

8.Qf3+ Ke8 9.Nc3 d6 10.O-O Be6 11.d5 Bc8 12.e6 


What an annoying "Jerome pawn". But, still...

12...Be7 Black resigned

Ooops... The only way to avoid checkmate is to resign.
