Similar to the game featured in the recent post, "Jerome Gambit: Smash!", the following game shows Black's King taking a cavalier walk into danger - with a deadly result.
lksharma - popasile
3 0 blitz, FICS, 2022
1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.d3 d6 5.Bxf7+

The game has transposed to a "modern" Jerome Gambit - one that does not have Nxe5+; in this case, White has preferred d3.
5...Kxf7 6.Ng5+ Kg6

The King anticipates a White Queen check at h5 and boldly moves to prevent it. His Majesty can survive this visit beyond his pawns, but more prudent would have been 6...Kf8.
7.h4 h6
The text is designed to chase the enemy Knight away.
It might also be there to give Black's King a bit of breathing room, but if that was the plan, 7...h5 would have been better, as another defender later learned 8.Qf3 Qf6 9.Qg3 Bxf2+ 10.Qxf2 Qxf2+ 11.Kxf2 Nd4 12.Na3 Bg4 13.c3 Ne2 14.Be3 Nf6 15.d4 exd4 16.cxd4 Rhe8 17.Nc4 Nxe4+ 18.Nxe4 Rxe4 19.Rhe1 Nxd4 20.Bxd4 Rxd4 21.Ne3 Rd2+ 22.Kg3 Rf8 23.Nxg4 hxg4 24.Re6+ Kh7 25.Kxg4 Rd4+?! 26.Kh3 Rd3+ 27.g3 Rff3 28.Rg1 Rd2?! 29.Re7 Kg6 30.Rxc7 Rxb2 31.a4 Kf5? 32.Rf7+ Ke4 33.Re1+ Kd5 34.Rxf3 Rb4 35.Rf4 Rb3 36.Kg4 Black resigned, lksharma - angelachi, blitz, FICS, 2022
