I have hit my thumb a number of times while driving in a nail.
It should be an easy task, but it requires a certain amount of care.
As in the following Jerome Gambit game.
alpingo45 - Grandfather19
5 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2025
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6
7.f4 Qf6 8.Rf1 g6 9.Qh3+ Ke7
10.Nc3 Nc4
Black "aggressively" removes his Knight from the pawn attack, but he overlooks something. He has forgotten the lesson from one of his earlier games: 10...c6 11.fxe5 Qxe5 12.d3 (Better 12.d4, but it can be wild: 12...Qxd4 13.Bf4 d6 14.Qg3 Ke8 15.Rd1 Qg7 16.Na4 Bb4+ 17.c3 Nf6 [17...Ba5 18.Bxd6] 18.cxb4 Nxe4 19.Qe3 Qe7 20.Rd4 d5 21.Nc5 Nxc5 22.Qxe7+ Kxe7 23.bxc5 Bf5 = ) 12...d5 13.Bg5+ Ke8 14.Qf3 Qxg5 15.Qf7+ Kd8 16.exd5 Bf5 17.dxc6 bxc6 18.Qg7 Qf6 19.Qb7 Rc8 20.O-O-O Ne7 21.Ne4 Qd4 22.Nxc5 Qxc5 23.d4 Qxc2 checkmate, alpingo45 - amamba1966, lichess.org, 2025.
As you might expect, best for Black is 10...d6 11.Nd5+ Kd8 12.Qg3 Nd3+ 13.cxd3 Qf7 with advantage.
11.Nd5+ Black resigned
Ouch, that's got to hurt...
