Jerome Gambit: Queen to the Rescue. Not.



In the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ ) the White Queen attacks, the Black Queen defends. If the defender goes to the wrong square, however, things may collapse quickly.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6 

7.Qxe5 Qf6 

This protects the Rook, but that is not enough. Defenders need to know that 6...g6 means the Rook will be sacrificed.
