In the following game, the defender relies on his tactical evaluation of a situation - only to discover that the attacker has seen a bit further.
Wall, Bill - Benjamin
interenet, 2023
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.O-O Kf8 6.Nxe5 Nxe5 7.d4 Bb6
Again (see "Jerome Gambit: Not Toothless") the Bishop withdraws.
8.dxe5 d6 9.Nc3 Ne7 10.Kh1 Ng6 11.f4 Be6
Black figures he has the tactics covered.
12.f5 Bc4 13.fxg6+ Bxf1
The Bishop has avoided the pawn fork and won the exchange. The discovered check was nothing. So, what's the problem?
14.Qxf1+ Black resigned
White threatens many checkmates, and Black's only "escape" is 14...Qf6, giving up his Queen.
