Jerome Gambit: Secret No More? No. More...

The other day I was looking at "Jerome Gambit Secrets #9", which focused on  perrypawnpusher - whitepandora, 3 10 blitz, FICS, 2008 (1-0, 41). Instead of my 8th move, 8.d4, the computer suggested the interesting 8.f4!?, creating the following position

Had anyone played 8.f4 in the last dozen or so years? I turned to The Database (well over 74,000 games), using the ChessBase position search. I actually found 4 games, but in each one, it turned out that while the position was the same, each one had White to move, not Black to move. How did that happen? 

Well, look at this move order: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.f4 Ng6 8.Qd5+ Kf6 

That is how 4 games reached the above position:

Intercrosse - afchs, blitz, lichess.org, 2020 (1-0, 14);

protohumanist - KSM012_B15L_AFEEF, 3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2021 (0-1, 73);

Capi_Capitan - rmurat, 3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2021 (1-0, 28); and

Intercrosse - Newtrix, blitz, lichess.org, 2021 (0-1, 42).

Only, like I said, it is White to move.

And that creates another "Secret" (#16) - in none of the above games did White find 9.Qg5+, which wins Black's Queen.
