The following game is another illustration of why people play the Abrahams Jerome Gambit. Even for a bullet game, it was fast.

1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Bxf7+
The Database has 145 games with this position. White scores 62%.
3...Kxf7 4.Qh5+ Kf6
There is really only one response that preserves Black's advantage - because of his extra material - and that is 4... Kf8
5.Qf5+ Ke7 6.Qxe5+ Kf8 7.Qxc5+ Qe7
There was not a lot in the alternative, 8...Qxe4+ 9.Ne2 Qxg2 10.Qxc8+ Kf7 11.Rg1.
9.d3 Nf6 10.Nf3 Qd8 11.Qg3
Exchanging Queens with 11.Qxd8+ was okay, too.
11...g6 12.Bh6+ Kf7 13.Ng5+ Ke7 Black resigned
Down three pawns, with an unsafe King, Black has little to play for.
