Jerome Gambit: One of A Million Traps



Wandering around the online video site TikTok, I discovered some videos by uisloth, including a few featuring the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+)

The shortest line given in a video - "One of a million traps in the jerome gambit" - was 

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Qh5+ Ng6 

6.Qd5+ Kf6 7.d4 Bb6 8.Bg5 checkmate.

Well, well, well...

I was quite surprised to find only one game example in The Database.
