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...
Sahuaripa - toshi8
3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2022
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6
7.f4 Qf6 8.fxe5
Usually White refrains from taking the Knight, because of the reply 8...Qf2.
8...Qxe5
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.
10.Rf1+ Black resigned
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#
