Jerome Gambit: Two Hybrid Gambits (Part 1)

 

As early as Charlick,H - Holloway,A, Australia, 1877 (1-0, 76), a few adventurous chess  players have combined the Evans Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc4 4.b4) with the Jerome Gambit (1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+).

See "The Evans Jerome Gambit" and "Exploring the Evans Jerome Gambit" for a couple of posts on the topic.

The Evans Jerome Gambit is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc4 4.b4 Bxb4 (or 4...Bb6 or 4...Be7) 5.Bxf7+ (or 5.c3 Bb6 6.Bxf7+ or 5.c3 Bc5 6.bxf7+ or 5.c3 Be7 6.Bxf7+).  

The Jerome Evans Gambit is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.b4.
