Jerome Gambit: Scary



Sometimes the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) can be scary enough that the defender surrenders prematurely. 

Take a look at the following game.

MSMDOIPE - geldi

10 0 Blitz, lichess.org, 2021


1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 

7.f4 Qf6 8.f5+ Black resigned


Odd. What to make of it?

The computer's evauation easily gives Black the advantage of over 4 pawns.

On the other hand The Database shows White scoring 10 - 4.

Pure Jerome Gambit.
