Simple Jerome Gambit: Recognize (Part 2)



The following game is a companion piece to the one presented in the previous column. It identifies the same theme: Black errs early, and White quickly recovers his sacrificed material for a clear advantage.


PedrosF1 - Vedant1997

10 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2021

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke7 


Black is shocked, or maybe just inattentive.  In any event, White's chances quickly go from "wild attack might work" to "solid advantage".

The Database shows White scoring 85%, while the computer rates the attacker ahead by 6 1/2 pawns.

7.Qxe5+



Like in Percolator - vishnuvinod_13, 1 0 bullet, lichess.org, 2021 (1-0, 8), White will go on to collect the Bishop at c5 and be 2 solid pawns ahead.
