The following Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) blitz game was a quick lesson for Black: Take the time, even in blitz, to put together a defense that keeps you in the game.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
Unusual, and not so good. There are 20 other games with this move in The Database. Over all, White scores 81%
8.Qxc5 Qh4+
Loosening White's Kingside, but just because White's Queen can fly around doesn't mean that Black's Queen should fly around, too.
9.g3 Qf6
Black avoids the tragedy of 9...Qe7 10.Qd5+ Black resigned Guest8407642325 - Guest7600400036, 10 0 blitz, Chess.com,2021 and, further, 11...Kf6 12.Qf5 checkmate Wall, Bill - Edaison, FICS, 2010.
10.f5+
But this is hardly a better outcome.
10...Qxf5 11.exf5+ Kf6 12.Nc3 Black resigned
