Taking a break from YouTube videos on the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) - Wow, there are a lot of them - I checked out another gambit opening that involves the sacrifice of two pieces, including, like the Jerome, a Bishop sacrifice on f7.
I am talking about the Nakhmanson Gambit:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Bc4 Nf6 5.O-O Nxe4 6.Nc3 dxc3 7.Bxf7+

After Black's King captures the Bishop, White will have sacrificed two pieces and a pawn. Stockfish 16.1 (33 ply) sees Black as being about a pawn and 1/3 better.
By comparison, it sees Black in the Jerome Gambit as being about 2 1/3 pawn better.
Maybe I will look into the history of the Nakhamanson a bit...
