With a flurry of new games from Dan Middlemiss, I could not miss the fact that blitz and bullet players have been applying the Jerome Gambit treatment to the Two Knights Defense a lot lately.
One example is
GirelliGiovanni - OnlyYellowKnight, 1 0 bullet, lichess.org, 2022
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4 Ng6 7.e5 Nd5 8.Qf3+ Kg8 9.Qxd5 checkmate
The Database has 20 game examples with this win, 8 by PedrosF1 at lichess.org.
Another example is
RookieWarchief - sdine, 5 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2022
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4 Nc6 7.e5 Nd5 8.Qf3+ Kg8 9.Qxd5 checkmate
The Database has 17 game examples with this win, 8 by PedrosF1 at lichess.org.
Whether Black retires his Knight to g6 or c6, it is worth remembering this line.
