The boring Italian Four Knights Game.

5.Bxf7+ 

The not-so-boring Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit.

5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.d4 Bb4 8.dxe5 Bxc3+ 9.bxc3 Nxe4

This pawn-grab adds to Black's worries.

10.Qd5+ Ke7 11.Qxe4 Rf8 

Black has a plan to deal with the Bishop check along the dark diagonal, but it is inadequate. To be fair, at this point he is probably lost, anyhow.

12.Bg5+ Rf6 

Fair enough, but White has a forced checkmate.

13.exf6+ Kf7 14.Qd5+ Kf8 15.fxg7+ Kxg7 16.Bxd8 Black resigned

Black has lost his Queen.

White has a mate in 7.
