The following game is quite a battle, with players averaging about a second's worth of thinking time for each move. It is exciting to play over, as the fight rages all over the board.

I like to refer to this kind of opening as an "impatient Jerome Gambit", as White sacrifices the Bishop before Black plays ...Bc5.
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4 Bb4+
I'm not sure what's going on, I guess it's best to develop a piece.
7.c3 Bd6 8.O-O
This will be a theme for White's play throughout the game: You expect me to capture with a pawn? Nah. There's a certain kind of freedom that comes from being 2 pieces down. Also, every time an opponent has to use valuable time answering the question What is he doing?? that is helpbul in bullet play.
8...Re8
See the note to Black's 6th move.
9.f4
See the note to White's 8th move.
9...Neg4 10.e5 Kg8
Black has castled-by-hand and is still two pieces up.
White has his "Jerome pawns" and has to be encouraged that Black's Bishop blocks his pawn that blocks his other Bishop that hems in his Rook - a typical defender's problem in the Jerome.
11.h3 Nh6 12.g4 Ne4 13.Qd3 Nc5 14.Qc2 Qh4
Black wants this game.
15.dxc5 Qg3+ 16.Qg2 Bxc5+ 17.Kh1 Qxg2+ 18.Kxg2 d6
Everything has changed; White has the better position and greater material. Still, Black's passed pawn promises to make things interesting.
