1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Bxf7+ 

The Abrahams Jerome Gambit.

3...Kxf7 4.Qh5+ Kf6 

4...Kf6 was also seen in IDLEH2017 - Arhip700, lichess.org, 2021 (1-0, 5) 

One benefit for White in this opening, versus the Jerome Gambit proper (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+), is that Black really has only one good response to the Queen check - and this isn't it.

5.Nf3 

This move allows the game to transpose to a position like the Jerome Gambit mentioned above, as if the Queen had ghosted through the Knight on f3.

5...Nc6 6.d4 

White avoids 6.Nxe5 Bxf2+ 7.Kxf2 Nxe5 which would still be good for him after 8.Qf5+ Ke7 9.Qxe5.

6...Qe8 

To exchange Queens, but overlooking White's threat.

7.Bg5+ Ke6 Black resigned
