Facing the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) , the Sillycon Defense can be an annoyance - but only if it is played correctly.
In the following blitz game Black takes a moment to prepare for further development - or is it castling-by-hand? - and turns the game over to his opponent. Only a shadow of the defense is left.

3 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.Qf5+ Kd6 8.f4 Kc6
This side step by the King, abandoning the Knight, is actually strong. The game perrypawnpusher - jonmather, 3d/move, "Giuoco Piano" tournament, Chess.com, 2021 (1-0, 33) is a recent example.
9.Qxe5 b6
Incautious, however.
10.Qd5+ Black resigned
Black will lose a Rook, when he will be down two pawns and the exchange. Unless he is well ahead on the clock, he does not have adequate compensation for the material.
