Things have not gone well for Black in the following Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game.
Take a look for yourself.
TePart0 - lazlo3000
3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2020
White, to move, has a checkmate in 3: 47.Qf4 Kg8 48.Qf7+ Kh8 49.Qf8#.
But White doesn't have to think that hard. Instead, he can just push pawns.
Why doesn't Black resign? Well, first of all, it's a 3-minute blitz game, so anything can happen, including White losing on time. Secondly - stalemate?
Meanwhile, White just keeps on pushing.
47.b4 Kh6 48.b5 Kg7 49.b6 Kh6 50.b7 Kg7 51.Qc7+ Kh6 52.b8Q Kg5 53.g7 Kh4 54.h6 Kg4 55.h7 Kf3 56.h8Q Ke2 57.g8Q
Well, I would be persuaded to resign here.
57...Kd2 58.Qd5+ Kc1 59.Qbb2 checkmate
Oh, well, good try.
