3 d/move, "Piano Piano" tournament, Chess.com, 2021
My opponent was ready to put his Rook on h8 to use in an attack. It was clearly time for me to do something.
14.f5 N6e5 15.d4 Nc6
Often when the Knight is kicked out of the center, it finds a home at c6. In this case, however, with Black's King at e7, retreating to f7 seems in order. The reason will immediately be obvious.
16.Bg5+
Taking advantage of the weakness of the dark squares in Black's position, as well as the unfortunate placement of his King and Queen.
16...Nf6 17.Bxf6+ Kxf6
Somewhat better was 17...gxf6, but White's Queen will still invade and win the Rook. White's extra pawns will add to his advantage.
18.Qg6+ Ke7 19.Qxg7+ Ke8 20.Qxh8+ Ke7
Now exchanging Queens would be simple enough, as would be grabbing the h-pawn, but I had plans for my advanced, supported, passed "Jerome pawn".
21.Qg7+ Ke8 22.f6 Back resigned
White's pawn is going to promote. Black can sacrifice his Queen for the new Queen, or allow it to stay on the board, but, either way, White will be more than a Queen ahead.
A good, fighting game by vs33. Fortunately for me, the Jerome Gambit had some resources I could use to turn back the aggression.
