Jerome Gambit: BSJG Do It Yourself

If you want something done right, the saying goes, you need to do it yourself.

In the following game, Black's King takes charge of the defense against the Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit.

In turn, Bill Wall takes the full point.


Wall, Bill - Adel

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4

The Blackburne Shilling Gambit.

4.Bxf7+

The Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit. 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Ke6 

Black's King takes charge of dealing with the intruder Knight.

6.c3 Nc6 7.d4 Nxe5 8.dxe5 Kxe5 


And that's that - right?

9.Qd5+ Kf6 10.Bg5+ 

This was enough for Black to resign in APe - Sali, blitz, FICS, 2009 and sahistonline - PlatinumKnight, blitz, 2017

10...Kg6 11.Qf5+ 

Or 11.Bxd8 d6 12.Qg5+, as in marciprevi - gregchess, blitz, FICS, 2017. 

11...Kh5 12.g4 checkmate
