Jerome Gambit: Refuted.


The nightmare of playing a "refuted" opening is that sometimes actually gets refuted.

Faster time controls help the attacker. Surprise helps.

Sometimes it is not enough.


pablosko - yooooooooo

3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2022

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4 Qh4 


First appearing in Sorensen - X, Denmark, 1888 (1-0, 27).

7.O-O Nf6 8.dxe5 

White is under pressure, but taking the enemy Bishop when he has the opportunity (8.dxc5) is probably more helpful.

8...Ng4 

9.Qd5+ 

Striking out, but it does not save him.

9...Ke8 10.h3 Bxf2+ 11.Rxf2 Qxf2+ White resigned

Checkmate is next.

It does not always have to end this way.
