In the Washing Machine

 

Wandering the internet, again, I ran across a ton of short videos at "Chess With Durks" on TikTok, including one on the Jerome Gambit, and one featuring a variation of the Scotch Gambit - "In the Washing Machine" - so called because White is "throwing him [Black's King] around in the washing machine."

The Jerome Gambit game in the video features a rare line (I have only 5 examples in The Database). 

I noted in "Jerome Gambit: Warping Players' Minds?" 

* I had seen it in the video "jerome gambit | the jerome gambit | how to play the jerome gambit | The Master Tricks | chess traps", and, before that, in the game blackburne - karmmark, Jerome Gambit Thematic tournament, ChessWorld.net, 2007.

The Game: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.f4 Nc6 8.Qxc5 Qe7 9.Qd5+ Kf6 10.Qf5 checkmate

And the "washing machine"? Durks has two videos.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d4 exd4 5.0–0 Nxe4 

6.Nc3

The Nakhmanson Gambit. See "Wandering Away For A Moment..."

The earliest example that I can find of this piece offer is Trajkovic, Mihajlo - Trifunovic, Petar, Belgrade (13), 1952 (0-1, 55).

Harding and Botterill, in their The Italian Game, (1977) note [notation changed from descriptive to algebraic]:

9.Nc3?! is interesting but unsound: a) 6...dxc3? 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7 8.Qd5+ Ke8 9.Re1 with a strong attack b) 6...Nxc3! 7.dxc3 d5 8.Bb5 Be7 9.Nxd4 (or 9.Re1 0-0) Bd7 10.Ne2 a6 11.Ba4 Na5 -/+ Novopashin - Nezhmetdinov, Kislovodsk, 1966.  

6...dxc3 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7 8.Qd5+ Ke7 

As an aside, in this line White has sacrificed a Bishop and a Knight, as in the Jerome Gambit, but in a different manner.

The King hunt is on.

9.Qxe4+ Kf7 10.Ng5+ Kf6 11.Qf4+ Kg6 12.Qf7+ Kh6 13.g4 Qe8

The offer of the Queen is only a distraction. In another video, Durks shows the alternative, 13...Qf6, but it doesn't change the outcome of the game.
