Jerome Gambit: One of My Favorite Games

I was recently reminded (i.e. "Jerome Gambit: Have A Plan") of one of my favorite Jerome Gambit games, alluded to in a post over a dozen years ago, "I tell ya, I don't get no respect...".

Tournament #1, ChessWorld.net, 2005

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.h4 

Another example of an opening line most recently looked at in "Jerome Gambit: Have A Plan".

5...Nf6 6.c3 Re8 7.Qb3+ d5 8.c4 d4 9.d3 Rb8 

White has locked the center, a wise idea given Black's advantage in material and development.

10.h5 Kg8 11.Nh4 Nxh5 

At this point in the game, both players timed out.

Mark it on the score sheet, not "1-0" or "0-1", but "0-0".
