Jerome Gambit: More Proof



White sets up another trap, and Black tumbles into it.

More proof of the successful combination of the Jerome Gambit and blitz time control.


Kingtora - Nomi7

5 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2021

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 

7.Qxc5 Qe7 8.Qc4+ Kf8 

Already giving White thoughts of an attack along the a3-g8 diagonal. Consistent with the offering of an exchange of Queens would have been 8...Qe6.

9.b3

Preparing a threat, but in a moment the opponent's awareness is gone.

9...Ne5 

Counter threat.

10.Qxc7 

A diversion.

10...Ng4 

A further threat.

11.Ba3 Black resigned
