Jerome Gambit: Think Fast



I was looking over a bullet game between two 2400+ players, a Four Knights Game that added a Jerome Gambit style sacrifice after Black innovated a bit too freely: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nc3 Nc6 4.Bc4 Nd4 5.Bxf7+ 


One interesting thing is that the game continued until the 73rd move, which means that the players were using, on the average, 8/10th of a second thinking time each move.

That's fast!

It is no surprise, then, that the game ended this way - by stalemate.
