Everything happens fast in a 1-minute game - especially when it is a Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+).
One moment you are winning (or losing), the next you are losing (or winning) - as in the following game, sent to me by chessfriend Yury V. Bukayev.

White develops.
Black develops.
White's King is safe.
Perhaps Black's King would be safe it got to the Queenside. Or, maybe it should settle in on g8.
Think fast, it is a 1-minute game!
12...Ke7
A slip.
Instead, the computer suggests something like 12...h5 13.Bg5 Qf7 14.h4 a6 15.Rae1 Bd7 16.Kh1 Kg8 17.Bxf6 Qxf6 18.Nd5 Qd8 19.f4 Bg4 when Black would be better.
13.Qxg7+ Bf7
Probably the intended idea, 13...Kd8 was now best, although it would lose a piece to 14.Qxf6+.
What a rapid reversal of fortunes!
14.Bg5 Bd4 15.Bxf6+ Bxf6 16.Nd5+
Black resigned
Black will lose his dark square Bishop after all.
White will be ahead three pawns, and the open lines against his King will not be enough compensation for Black.
