Maxime Vachier-Lagrave Played Jerome-ish Games!

In earlier posts we have looked at a couple of bullet games played by top Grandmaster Maxime Vachier-Lagrave which featured the risky Jerome-ish gambit with Bxf7+.

Yury V. Bukayev has sent his three more Jerome-ish games. Have a pleasure to explore the style of the current World Blitz Chess Champion!
