When Black returns some, or all, of the sacrificed material given to him in the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) White is often faced with the task of carrying on without his planned blistering attack.
Still, after he adjusts his goals White can continue to press toward victory.

Black resigned
After 23.Bxf8 Nxg7 24.Bxg7 the position would be quiet, but White's material advantage would be enough to patiently win.
