Some Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) games are fun to play over - quickly.
The following line of play has been examined in "Don't drive like my brother", "Jerome Gambit: Chess Is An Easy Game, After All", and "Jerome Gambit: Update -> Unplayed" but still deserves another look.
Another example of why people love the Jerome Gambit.
Anti-Duhring - rondoll
1 0 bullet, lichess.org, 2023
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Ke8
Black does not want to go along with White's plan and play 5...Nxe5.
6.Qh5+ Kf8
Again, Black avoids the stronger - and expected - 6...g6.
The lichess.org database has 375 games with this position, with White scoring 93%.
Think about that. White's next move is?
7.Qf7 checkmate
