Kingtora - andrikrist

10 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2021

1 e4 Nc6 2.Nf3 e5 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6 

7.Qxe5 d6 8.Qxh8 

If he remembers the variations, White can take this Rook and live.

8...Qh4 

Everyone remembers Amateur - Blackburne, London, 1884, (0-1, 14) right?

9.O-O 

Fully playable, although 9.d4 was stronger. 

9...Qxe4 

A slip. Complicated play follows blocking the Queen in with, 9...Nf6, although 10.Qd8 Bb6 11.e5 dxe5 12.Qd3 would secure Her Majesty's release.

10.Nc3 

Or 10.Qxh7+ Kf8 11.d3 Qe5 12.Be3!? Qxb2 13.Nd2 Qg7 14.Qxg7+ Kxg7 15.Bxc5 dxc5 

10...Qxc2 

In the Jerome Gambit, greed is not good.

Instead, 10...Qh4 would have been more useful. 

11.d4 Bb6 12.Nd5 Bd7 13.Qxh7+ Ke6 

White is a pawn and the exchange better, but the real issue is King safety.

14.Nxb6 cxb6

Black now faces a forced checkmate.

15.Re1+ Kd5 Black resigned

White will win the Bishop and then gather in more material as Black tries, unsuccessfully, to ward off mate.
