I was going to put together all the Abrahams Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Bxf7+) games of the online player dziuba, a specialist, but it turns out that The Database has over 1,100 of his games. 🙌
So here is one good game, with others in the notes.

1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Bxf7+
3...Kxf7 4.Qh5+ g6 5.Qxe5
How to balance things.
6.Kxf2 Qf6+
A stronger response was seen: 6...Nf6 7.Nf3 Ng4+ 8.Kg1 Nxe5 9.Nxe5+ (9.Ng5+ Kf6 10.d4 h6 11.dxe5+ Kxe5 12.Nf7+ Ke6 13.Nxd8+ Rxd8 14.Bxh6 Rf8 15.Bxf8 Kf7 16.Ba3 d6 17.Nc3 c5 18.Nd5 b6 19.Nc7 Nc6 20.Nxa8 Nd4 21.Nc7 Nxc2 22.Rf1+ Ke7 23.Nd5+ Ke6 24.b4 Bb7 25.bxc5 Bxd5 26.exd5+ Kd7 27.c6+ Kc7 28.Rf7+ Kc8 29.Bxd6 b5 30.Rxa7 Kd8 31.Ra8 checkmate, dziuba - moaffaq, lichess.org, 2021) 9...Ke6 10.d4 Qh4 11.Nd2 Qe1+ 12.Nf1 Rf8 13.Nf3 Nc6 14.d5+ Kd6 15.dxc6 bxc6 16.Bf4+ Rxf4 17.Rxe1 Ke6 18.Nd4+ Ke5 19.Nf3+ Kf6 20.Nd4 c5 21.Nb3 Bb7 22.Nxc5 Bc6 23.Nd3 Rg4 24.h3 Rh4 25.g3 Rh6 26.Ne3 g5 27.Ng4+ Kg6 28.Nxh6 Kxh6 29.h4 Kg6 30.hxg5 Kg7 31.Rxh7+ Kxh7 32.g6+ Kxg6 33.Nf4+ Kg5 34.Nd5 Kg4 35.Ne7 Bxe4 36.Ng6 Bf3 37.Nf4 Black resigned, dziuba - T4K345347, lichess.org, 2023; or

7.Qxf6+ Nxf6
8.e5
White would do better with 8.d3 or 8.Nc3. Previously he has played
8.Nf3 Nxe4+ 9.Ke3 Nc5 10.Rf1 Rf8 11.Ne5+ Ke7 12.Rxf8 Kxf8 13.d4 d6 14.dxc5 dxe5 15.Ke4 Bf5+ 16.Kxe5 Nd7+ 17.Kd5 Ke8 18.Bg5 c6+ 19.Kd6 Kf7 20.Nc3 Nf6 21.Bxf6 Rd8+ 22.Bxd8 Bxc2 23.Rf1+ Kg7 24.Bf6+ Kh6 25.Bd4 Bd3 26.Rf8 Bf5 27.h3 g5 28.Rxf5 Kg6 29.g4 h5 30.Rf6+ Kg7 31.Re6+ Kf7 32.Re7+ Kf8 33.Rxb7 a5 34.Ra7 a4 35.Rxa4 Kf7 36.Ra7+ Kg6 37.Kxc6 hxg4 38.Kb6 gxh3 39.c6 Kh5 40.c7 h2 41.c8=Q h1=Q 42.Qh8+ Kg4 43.Qxh1 Kf5 44.Rf7+ Kg6 White lost on time, dziuba - Dellg, lichess.org, 2023
8...Ng4+ 9.Kf3
About the same strength as 9.Kf1 Nxe5 10.d4 Nec6 11.Bh6 d5 12.c3 b6 13.Nd2 Re8 14.Ngf3 Ba6+ 15.Kf2 Nd7 16.Rhe1 Nf6 17.Ng5+ Kg8 18.Ne6 Ng4+ 19.Kg3 Nxh6 20.Nxc7 Rxe1 21.Rxe1 Rc8 22.Nxa6 Nf5+ 23.Kf2 h5 24.Nf3 Rf8 25.Kg1 Kh7 26.Ng5+ Kh6 27.Ne6 Re8 28.Nac7 Re7 29.b4 Nd8 30.Kf2 Nxe6 31.Rxe6 Rxc7 32.h3 Rxc3 33.g4 Nxd4 34.Rd6 Rc2+ 35.Ke3 Nb5 36.Rxd5 a6 37.g5+ Kg7 38.Rd7+ Kg8 39.Rb7 Rxa2 40.Rxb6 Kf7 41.Rf6+ Kg7 42.Kd3 Ra3+ 43.Kc4 Rxh3 44.Rxa6 Nd6+ 45.Rxd6 Rg3 46.b5 Black resigned, dziuba - Yusufah, lichess.org, 2021
9...d6 10.exd6 cxd6 11.Ne2 Rf8 12.g3
White believes his King will be safer on g2. Stockfish 17.1 disagrees, suggesting 12.d3 Rf8+ 13.Kg3.
Black is now better.
Remember, though, this is a 1-minute game, and deep analysis is not likely.
12...Kg7+ 13.Kg2 Nc6
Black misses the hole in White's analysis: 13...Re2+ 14.Kg1 Rxe2 would win a piece.
14.d3 Be6
Still missing
15.Nf4 Bd7 16.Nc3 Nce5
17.Ncd5
White would do better kicking the enemy Knights around, gaining more control over the board: 17.h3 Nf6 18.d4 Nc6 19.d5
17...Bc6 18.c4 Bxd5+ 19.cxd5 g5
Better 19...Rac8.
20.Ne6+
The only move, winning the exchange.
20...Kg6 21.Nxf8+ Rxf8
This has got to be due to the clock, as it allows the pretty 22...Rf2+ 23.Kh3 Ne3!? 24.Bxe3 g4+ 25.Kh4 h5 followed by 26...Nf3 checkmate.
22...h6
The clock ticks both ways: now White has chances.
23.Bc3
This would be a good idea, if it weren't for... you know.
Instead, 23.Rhf1, getting rid of the threats to f2, even at the cost of two pawns, was right, i.e. 23...Rxf1 24.Rxf1 Nxd3 25.h3 Nf6 26.Bc3 Nxd5 and White's exchange outweighs Black's extra pawn.
23...Ne3+
This is good enough for a draw, after White responds with 24.Kg1, if the players want to grind it out.
24.Kh3 g4+ 25.Kh4
And now?
25...h5 26.Bxe5 dxe5 27.Rhe1 Nf5 checkmate
