According to FIDE (the international chess federation)
960 students (198 women, 762 men) of 78 countries, representing 202 universities of 64 countries participated in the First FIDE World University Online Blitz Championship on Sunday, 14-18, March 2021. It was by far the biggest university event ever.
Anyone who has ever watched the 1978 college movie "Animal House" has to know that the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) would show up at the World University Online Blitz Championship - and perform in its own special way...
Chaguaceda, Lasa Juan (Universidad de Valladolid, Spain) -
Vishu Saini (Quantum University, India)
3 2 blitz, 1st FIDE World University Blitz Group C, Tornelo, 2021
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
5...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Kf8 7.Qf5+
Oh, no... this looks like a mouse slip.
To be fair, The Database has 6 other games with this position, and White still won twice: BoomBoomTNT-YT and Bill Wall.
The error was balanced by another game that White had in the tournament: Chaguaceda, Lasa Juan - Sithole, Sibonelo, 1.e4 1-0
7...Qf6 8.f4 Qxf5 9.exf5 Ng4
Black has two pieces for two pawns.
White fights on, but another error seals his fate.
10.Nc3 N8f6 11.d3 d6 12.h3 Ne3 13.Ne4 Nxe4 14.dxe4 Nxc2+ White resigned
