Blitz games do not always allow for deep analysis of a position. Sometimes you have to grab ahold of an idea and go with it.
This can benefit the prepared Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) player who is ready to immediately punish a move that only looks good on the surface.
The following game is a quick example.
thunder_84 - wightnight
3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2021
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4
6...Bd6
As I have written before
I sometimes wonder when Black plays this move, if he is remembering the Fork Trick, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bc4 Nxe4 5.Nxe4 d5 6.Bd3 dxe4 7.Bxe4.
Still, there is a problem applying the logic of that opening line to the Jerome Gambit. The straight-forward 6...Bxd4 was simpler and stronger.
This is the alternative Queen check mentioned in "Jerome Gambit: Occasionally, Think Like A Computer".
8...Kf6
Or 8...Ke8 9.Qxe5+ Qe7 10.Qd4 Nf6 11.Nc3 c5 12.Qe3 d5 13.Nxd5 Nxd5 14.exd5 Qxe3+ 15.Bxe3 Kd7 16.Bxc5 b6 17.Be3 Ba6 18.b3 Kd6 19.0–0–0 Rhe8 20.Rhe1 Re5 21.Bf4 Black resigned, thunder_84 - AliAliev, blitz, lichess.org, 2021.
9.f4 Bd6
Or 9...Bxf4 10.Bxf4 Ne7 11.Qg5+ Kf7 12.0–0 Kg8 13.Nc3 h6 14.Qg3 d6 15.Rad1 Qe8 16.e5 Nf5 17.Qf2 dxe5 18.Rfe1 Qf7 19.Bxe5 Kh7 20.Nd5 c6 21.Nc7 Rb8 22.Rf1 Rf8 23.Qd2 Black resigned, thunder_84 - dndn0215, blitz, lichess.org, 2021.
10.Qg5+ Black resigned
The lesson here is if you try to "Out-Think A Thinker (Not)", it is best to understand that "Defending Requires Attention" and that "Not Taking It Seriously Has Consequences".
