Jerome Gambit: Blitz Happens

I want to take a moment to update a comprehensive post from 2 1/2 years ago, "Jerome Gambit: Chess Is An Easy Game, After All".

Chiesadision - FrankyRivers

3 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2023

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Kf8 6.Qh5 Nf6 7.Qf7 checkmate

Ouch.

Even though Black was rated only a few points shy of 2400, this was a 3-minute game, and, as we all know, blitz happens...
