Years ago, Geoff Chandler playfully suggested that the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) was a forced draw.
I wonder what he would think of the following game.
mwafakalhaswa - M-Kurbaj12
5 3 blitz, 3rd Queens Of Chess Challenge Team Battle, lichess.org, 2020
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Kf8
7.Qxe5 d6 8.Qg3 Qf6 9.c3 Qe5
10.Qf3+ Qf6 11.Qg3 Qe5 12.Qh4 Qf6 13.Qg3 Qe5 draw
(Skeptics might re-evaluate Black's 11th and 12th moves, as well as White's 11th move.)
