The Jerome Gambit can apply pressure, until a slip leads to a tactical error, and White records another win.
Wall, Bill - Ahmad
internet, 2023
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.O-O
A "modern" Jerome Gambit, as opposed to Alonzo Wheeler Jerome's "classical" 5.Nxe5+ - but wait.
5...Nf6 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.d4 Bd6
8.dxe5 Bxe5 9.f4 Bd6 10.e5 Bc5+ 11.Kh1 Ne8
The "Jerome pawns" have won the battle for the center against the enemy pieces, and now the Queen moves in to grab a loose piece.
12.Qd5+ Kf8 13.Qxc5+
Okay, White is better, but, after a breather, the pawns have more work to do.
13...d6 14.Qb4 b6
15.f5 Bb7 16.f6 gxf6 17.Bh6+ Kf7 18.Qc4+ d5 19.Qg4 Rg8
Overlooking something.
20.e6+ Ke7 21.Qxg8 Black resigned
