Following up on the previous post, "BSJG: It's Complicated" here is another Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit Declined - declined, I suppose, because the defender wanted a less complicated game than his opponent had planned for. However, things do not turn out that way.
NN - NN
3 2 blitz, lichess.org, 2022
1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nc6 3.Nf3 Nd4
The Blackburne Shilling Gambit.
4.Bxf7+
The Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit.

Declined.
Recently discussed in the game Raynier29 - Floppy-Bischer, 3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2022 (1-0, 9), the line leads to an advantage for White that Stockfish 14.1 assesses as more than a Rook.
5.Nxe5 Kd6
The difference between "brave" and "foolish" differs according to the time control. Black decides to throw caution to the wind.
The more sedate 5...d6 was more likely to help him survive.
6.Bxg8 Kxe5 7.c3 Qg5

Pieces are hanging as Black plays the thematic move in the Blackburne Shilling Gambit.
As it turns out, this is not a safe place for the Queen.
8.cxd4+ Kxd4 9.Qa4+
Rather than worry about his Bishop on g8, White looks toward checkmating the advanced enemy King.
9...Ke5

10.Qb5+
This will do.
White overlooks the thematic move 10.f4+, which will show up in the notes again, as well as 10.d4+. Both moves are designed to win the Black Queen.
10...c5 11.O-O
Preparing 12.f4+, a move which could actually be played right away: 11.f4+ Kd6 (11...Qxf4 12.d4+) 12.fxg5.
11...Rxg8

Reminder, this is a 3 minute blitz game, where the rule often is If you can't quickly think of anything else, grab material.
12.Qc4
Sneaking around the c-pawn and attacking the enemy Rook. White is still winning. (Of course, 12.f4+ and 12.d4+ were also playable.)
12...Rh8 13.Nc3
Solid.
(13.f4+ and 13.d4+, also come to mind.)
13...d6 14.d4+ Black resigned
.png)
(Yes, the fork 14.f4+ was also still on, and some Readers will no doubt see that the strongest - but, from a practical point of view, unnecessary - move was 14.Qf7, threatening a checkmate in 6 moves)
