Jerome Gambit: "Jerome Pawns" Doing Work

 

Following the previous two blog posts, I would like to again mention a TikTok video "Jerome gambit against li" by  uisloth, where another Jerome Gambit game can be found.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 

7.f4 Qf6 8. Rf1 g6 9. Qh3+ Ng4 10. Qxg4+ Kf7

 11.f5 d6 12.Nc3 gxf5 13.exf5 Nh6 

Hitting the White f-pawn for a third time, while it is only defended twice. Overlooking something, though.

14.Qh5+ Kg7 15.Ne4 Qe5 

Now the "Jerome pawns" begin to have their way.

16.f6+ Kg8 17.f7+ Kg7 18.Qxh6+ 

Nice

18...Kxh6 19.d4+ Kg7 20.dxe5 Rf8 21.Rf6 Rxf7 22.Bh6+ Kg8 

23.e6 

Here comes another one.

23...Bxe6 24.Rxe6 Bg1 

The action has slowed. White is up a piece.

25.O-O-O Bxh2 26.g3 

Keeping the enemy Bishop contained.

26...d5 27.Rxd5 Rf1+ 28.Kd2 Rf7 29.Rde5 Rf1 

White now has a checkmate in no more than 10 moves. Black does not last that long.

30.Re7 Rd8+ 31.Ke2 Rdf8 32.Rg5+ Kh8 33.Bg7+ Kg8 34.Be5 checkmate

I did not have this game in The Database, but I do, now.
