Sometimes the impact of the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) on the defender is very interesting - it is as if Black is sleepwalking...

7.f4 Qf6 8.fxe5
Usually White refrains from taking the Knight, because of the reply 8...Qf2.

Black is doing fine, even if he is playing passively.
This is a blitz game, however, and White now throws in a surprise to destabilize things.
9.Qe8+ Kf6
It turns out that Black can afford to block the check with 9...Ne7, because White risks too much if he captures the Rook - 10.Qxh8 - Black has the Whistler-like 10...Qxe4+ with a crushing attack.
In all fairness, The Database has no game examples of 9...Ne7.

Wow. The Rook chases the enemy King away from protecting the Queen. Checkmate is also coming, for example 10...Bf2+ (blocking the check for a moment) 11.Rxf2+ Kg5 12.Qxe5+ (there goes the Queen) Kg6 13.Qg3+ Kh5 14.Rf5+ Kh6 15.Qg5#
