Jerome Gambit: Themes Repeat

Some Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) themes repeat. The following game, showcasing the pawns vs the extra piece, reminds me of the post "The Pawns! The Pawns!" from 9 years ago.

Wall, Bill - Mubbu

internet, 2022

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 

7.Qd5+ Ke8 8.Qxc5 N8e7 9.O-O

Instead, 9.Nc3 was seen in Wall,B - Andr,T, Chess.com, 2010;(1-0, 25),

9...d6

Or 9...Rf8 as in Wall,B - Guest348906, PlayChess.com 2013 1-0, 24) 

10.Qe3 

Or 10.Qh5 Be6 11.f4 Bf7 12.Qb5+ Kf8 13.Qxb7 Kg8 14.Nc3 Bc4 15.d3 Be6 16.f5 Nxf5 17.exf5 Black resigned, Wall,B - Guest567544, PlayChess.com, 2013. 

10...Be6 

This move is enough of an encouragement to bring the enemy pawns forward.

11.f4 Bf7 12.d4 Rf8

Black plans on sheltering in place.

13.f5 Nh8 14.g4 

14...d5

Sometimes this move is key for the defender against the Jerome Gambit. Not this time.

15.e5 c6 16.e6 Bg8 17.Qe5

17...Qb8 

Challenging the enemy Queen, but Stockfish 15 prefers returning an exchanging some material with 17...Bxe6 18.Qxe6 Qd7 19.Qxd7+ Kxd7 20.Nd2 Nf7 21.Nf3 h5 22.h3 hxg4 23.hxg4 Rae8, when White would still be better, but Black would still be in the game.

18.Qxg7 Bxe6 19.fxe6 Rg8 20.Qxh7 Rxg4+ 21.Kh1 Black resigned

Black will lose material, and his King is unsafe.
