In the following Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game, Bill Wall makes his way past an annoying defense and moves on to deliver checkmate.
As always, there was a defense to be found along the way, but part of the challenge in facing the Jerome is finding that defense - before it is too late.

In "Silicon Defense" I wrote
Although not given a specific title, I have begun to call this the "Annoying Defense", although I suppose, since it is the choice of several computer chess programs, I could also call it the "Silicon Defense" - but it would still be annoying.

Black removes his Bishop from the threat of Qc4+ and then capture.

It is hard to know what Black intended here.
I suspect Bill of using hypnosis.

Sadly, the Knight had to stay put, although Black would have an even game after 15...Rf8 16.gxf6 Rxf6 17.Qc4+ Kd7.
Now Bill wraps things up.
