Jerome Gambit: Just Like That

GeNer4tion_KiLL - mahan9191

Streamer Arena August '25, lichess.org, 2025

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6 

7.Qxe5 d6 

Blackburne's defense, an offer of a Rook. I think that the game is ultimately a draw, but there are complications along the way.

8.Qxh8 Qh4 

9.d4 Qxe4+ 10.Be3 Bb6 

Black would do better with 10...Qxg2, to counter White's aggression. 

11.Qxh7+ Black resigned


Black is down an exchange and a couple of pawns. His King is in danger, while White's King is not.
