Jerome Gambit: Fast and Furious



If you saw a movie listing for "Fast and Furious" it would not be unreasonable to think that it was about bullet chess. (I wish!) How else to describe play that unfolds with only a minute on each player's time clock?

The following game is a good example. Black might be prepared for the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) or he might be prepared for a bullet game, but he does not appear to be prepared for both. Disaster follows.

Thus the old saying: The hurrieder I go, the behinder I get.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 

7.Qxc5 Qe7 8.Qc4+ Ke8 9.Nc3 d6 10.Nd5 Qe5 


This move gets the Queen out of danger, but that is not all that is going on.

11.Nxc7+ Kd7 12.Nxa8 Nf4 

The intention is to hit back, but it overlooks the same danderous square. The defender's game goes to pieces.

13.Qc7+ Ke6 14.Qxc8+ Kf6 15.d3 Qd4 16.Bxf4 Black resigned
