Jerome Gambit: Harassed



I have seen Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) games where White's Queen is harassed, but I  don't think that I have ever seen anything like the following game.

 angelcamina - pekasmed

1 0 bullet, lichess.org, 2023

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 

7.Qd5+ Ke7 8.Qxc5+ d6 

Here we go.

9.Qc4 Be6 10.Qb4 b6 11.O-O c5 12.Qb5 Nf6 13.d3 Qd7 14.Qa6 Rhd8 

15.f4 Nf8 16.f5 Bf7 17.Nc3 Rab8 18.Bg5 Qb7 19.Qb5 Be8 20.Qc4 Bf7 21.Qa4 a5 22.Nd5+ 

22...Qxd5

I am not sure if this was a mouse slip or an oversight or because this is a bullet game. In any event: Game Over.

Instead, 22...Bxd5 23.exd5 Qxd5 maintained Black's advantage

23.exd5 N8d7 24.Rae1+ Kf8 25.Bxf6 Nxf6 26.Re6 Bxe6 27.fxe6 Ke7 28.c4 Rf8 29.Rxf6 gxf6 30.Qd7 checkmate
