Black Was Winning - Until He Wasn't



The following game is another example of the attacker's ability to stay awake for possibilities - until they arrive, and become certainties.


KamranShirazi - mikikoker

3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2022


1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Bxf7+ 

Here we have the Abrahams Jerome Gambit, otherwise known as the Polerio Gambit, or what Yury V. Bukayev has suggested might be called the Polerio Knightless Jerome Gambit. 

3...Kxf7 4.c3 Qh4 5.Qe2 d5 


Black is defending well, and even counter-attacking.

But the game is not over, yet.

6.Nf3 Qxe4 

Ooops. Blitz game.

7.Ng5+ Black resigned


Black will have only two pieces for his Queen.
