1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Bc5

The Busch-Gass Gambit.

3.Bc4  

White is not interested in grabbing a pawn and then hunkering down: 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nf6 5.d3 O-O 6.Be2 Nc6 7.O-O h6. 

3...h6 

Of course, 3...Nc6 4.Bxf7+ is the Jerome Gambit proper. 

4.Bxf7+ 

Things get even wilder after 4.Nxe5 Qg5 5.Bxf7+ Kd8 6.d4 Qxg2 7.Qf3 Qxf3 8.Nxf3 Bb6. 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ 

At last.

5...Kf6 6.d4 Qe7

This defense does not hold.

7.Qf3+ Ke6 8.Qf5+ Kd6 9.dxc5+ Kxc5 

10.Ng6+

To win the enemy Queen.

The fastest win is 10.Nxd7+ Kc4 11.b3+ Kb4 12.Bd2# 

10...d5 11.Qxd5+ Kb6 12.Be3+ c5

13.Nxe7 Nxe7 14.Bxc5+ Black resigned
