The Blackburne Shilling Gambit
4.Bxf7+
The Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Kf6 6.O-O
Offering the Knight on e5. It can be taken - with care.
6...Kxe5 7.c3 Ne6 8.Qh5+
This is a 5-minute blitz game, and such moves are often tried - and are often successful.
Also fun, for the attacker, is 8.d4 Kxe4? 9.Qf3 checkmate.
A Jerome-ish, pawnful alternative, is 8.d4 Kf6 (best) 9.f4 h5 10.f5 Ng5 11.e5 Kf7 althought the line is, admittedly, better for Black (Stockfish 16.1, 30 ply, less than a pawn).
8...Qg5
You can move your Queen, I can move my Queen.
Ill-advised, but, again, this is blitz.
9.f4+
Uh oh.
There is also 9.d4+ Kf6 10.Bxg5+ Nxg5 11.e5+ Ke7 12.Qxg5+.
9...Nxf4
Yes, and No. In this kind of position, it hardly matters.
10.Qxg5+ Black resigned
