Here is another recent Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) bullet game by the mysterious Cliff Hardy.
The notes are by Hardy. I have added diagrams.
Cliff Hardy (2453) - NN (2369),
1 0 bullet, Lichess, 2022
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
[This position appears in 103 games in The Database. White scores 68% - Rick]
10.Nc3 d5 11.d3 dxe4 12.dxe4 Be6 13.0-0 h5
14.f4?
14.h3 -++, to stop ...Ng4, would have been wiser, before pushing the feared Jerome f-pawn.
14....Bf7 15.e5 Re8??
15...Ng4 -++ would have been better.
16.Qg3?? -++
Since Black's rook has left the a-pawn unguarded, taking the little guy with 16.Qxa7 would have left White with a slight advantage.
16....Nd7? -++
16...Ng4 -++ would have been a more active posting for the knight.
17.Be3 h4 18.Qf2 Kg8
19.Rae1 c6 20.Bd4 Nb6?? ++-
20...c5 -++ would have pushed White back on the defensive, whereas now the f-pawn runs riot.
21.f5 Nf8 22.f6 Qe6
23.Ne4?? ++-
23.fxg7! Kxg7 24.Qxf7+!? Kxf7 25.e6+! Kg6 26.Rxf7 ++- would have led to a much stronger position for White.
23....Rh5??
24.fxg7 Ng6?!
24...Nh7 would have covered f6, although then after 25.Qxf7+!? Qxf7 26.Rxf7 Kxf7 27.Nd6+ Kxg7 28.Nxe8+ ++-, White's material lead and powerful e-pawn would have still yielded a dominant advantage.
25.Nf6+ Kxg7 26.Nxh5+ and Black resigned.
