JG: The New in Its Opening Theory, in Its Psychology (Part 16)

(by Yury V. Bukayev)

In the Part 7 of this my analytical research on the standard system of the Jerome gambit (JG) it was fixed that after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6 7.Qxe5 Qe7! (the Whistler defence) 8.Qd5+!? Ke8 9.d4?! Black gets a won game after 9…Bb4+! 10.c3 Nf6 11.Qe5 [11.Qc4 N Qxe4+] 11…Bd6! N 12.Qxe7+ Bxe7.

My new invented winning way for Black is 10…c6!? N.

Let’s consider my new invented ways for Black after 8…Kg7 9.d4?! and after 8…Kf8 9.d4?!.

The analogy method works very well here:

I)8…Kg7 9.d4?! Bb4+! 10.c3 Nf6 [10…c6 N, and Black wins also], and Black wins after both 11.Qe5 Bd6! N 12.Qxe7+ Bxe7 and 11.Qc4 N Qxe4+,

II)8…Kf8 9.d4?! [9.0-0 Nf6! (it’s my else one new strong defence, but we’ll not consider it here); 9.b4! is good here that is enough similar to 8…Kg7 9.b4 – Part 15 and my further commented won games of 2023 as White against A.Karpov, A.Petrov] 9…Bb4+! N, and Black wins also:

A)10.c3 Nf6 [10…c6!, and Black wins much easier]

A1)11.Qc4 Qxe4+,

A2)11.Bh6+! Ke8 12.Qe5?! [12.Qc4 Qxe4+ 13.Kd2 (13.Kd1!?) 13…Be7; 12.Qb5, and White gets some practical chance in all these cases] 12…Bd6 or 12…Qxe5 13.dxe5 Ng4,

A3)11.Qe5 Bd6!,

B)10.Kd1?! [Other moves can’t help too.] 10…Nf6 11.Bh6+ Ke8 12.Qb3!? Nxe4.
