Jerome Gambit: Classic #1 Upset



Chess.com keeps track of the "Biggest Upset" in the Jerome Gambit Classic #1 tournament (and others, as well, on their respective pages).

Currently, the following game holds the Classic #1 honors. It is fun to consider the many evaluations given to the moves along the way - by the Chess.com computer?

White is able to put off being checkmated, by allowing his King and Queen to be forked.
