Wall, Bill - Truguy
internet, 2022
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6
7.Qxc5 d6 8.Qd5+
This is a typical Jerome Gambit "question" - does Black want to be dynamic and play 8...Be6, blocking the check, developing a piece and attacking the enemy Queen, at the cost of the b-pawn? Then, again, is the b-pawn worth it?
Often defenders get into the mindset I am not familiar with this opening, but my opponent must know what he is doing because nobody would just throw away two pieces, so I should trust that he knows what he is doing...
So, if it looks like White wants to grab the b-pawn, maybe he should not be allowed to take it.
8...Kf8 9.d3 Nf6 10.Qb3 Qe7 11.O-O Qe6
12.Qc3 c6 13.f4 Ne7 14.Nd2 Kf7
If there is time, Black may be able to castle-by-hand. White, therefore, makes sure there is not enough time.
15.f5 Qe5 16.Qb3+ d5 17.Nf3 Qc7 18.e5
18...Ne8
Similar to yesterday's post, Black's Knights are stumbling backward.
He might have taken advantage of the opportunity to play 18...Qb6+ 19.Qxb6 axb6 while he had the chance.
19.Ng5+ Kf8 20.Ne6+ Bxe6 21.fxe6+ Kg8 22.Rf7 Qxe5
If only Black can capture White's two center pawns, he would be a happy extra piece ahead.
Plus, the offer of the Knight on e7 is deliberate: 23.Rxe7? Qe1#
White is too far ahead in his attack to be distracted.
23.Qxb7 Rb8 24.Qxe7 Qd6 25.Rf8 checkmate
