JG: The New (Part 5)

 

JG: The New in Its Opening Theory, in Its Psychology (Part 5)

As a development of my Part 2, this continuation of my theoretical research on the Italian Game, Jerome Gambit (JG) is about another White’s good way after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.Qh3+! Ke7 8.Qc3!? Bxf2+!. Thus, White can play 9.Ke2!? N too (this my invention allows to get an extraordinary position of JG). After 9…d6!? the best White’s move is 10.Kxf2. [It maybe, your too cautious opponent as Black will be afraid of your possibility to play 10.d4 Bxd4!? 11.Qxd4 too, although Black wins here, in fact. The way 9.Ke2 d6 10.Kxf2 isn’t weaker than 9.Kxf2, because the move d7-d6 permits to make the blow Qc3xc7+! (if Black’s Queen isn’t on the line “d” already) and then Nb1-c3!] 10…Qf8+!? [Black tries to attack similarly to the way of the Part 2. But the simplest way is 10…Nf6 11.d3 with a more calm play.] 11.Ke1! Qf4!? 12.Qxc7+! Ke8 [12…Bd7 13.Nc3] 13.Nc3. [It creates White’s very active playing, there are no simple ways for Black here. It should be noted that after 13…Ne7?? White stands better: 14.Qxe7+! Kxe7 15.Nd5+.] 13…Qh4+!? 14.g3. The move 14…Qh3 is probably the best, but it leads to a very sharp play which is difficult for Black’s mental analyzing, evaluating on the 7th move. White keeps enough chances to fight, and it’s a new serious argument for your too cautious opponent to prefer 7…Kf7 to 7…Ke7.
