It is interesting to look at the following Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game, after having examined the game in yesterday's post. Just another indication that things are not quite "ordinary" when it comes to this opening.

This is still not the right way to respond to White's Queen's presence.
8.Qxe5+ Kf7 9.Qxc5 Nxe4 10.Qf5+ Black resigned
Hmmm...
We saw in NN - NN, Chess.com, 2021 that 10.Qd5+ Kf6 11.Qxe4
did not work because of 11...Re8, pinning and winning the White Queen. In the current game, if Black should retreat his King to either e8 or g8, this would block his Rook's access to the e8 square, allowing White to capture the Knight.
If instead Black were to respond with 10...Qf6, an exchange of Queens directly, or after 11.Qd5+ Qe6, would leave White simply a pawn ahead.
Black's best move in the above position, however, is 10...Nf6, when he will have some compensation for his pawn minus in terms of development and tempo gains against the enemy Queen. Not necessarily time to resign.
