When White sacrifices a couple of pieces in the Jerome Gambit, he creates an imbalance in material that he hopes will yield attacking chances.
Sometimes, that does not happen.
(There are over 50,000 Jerome Gambits in The Database. White scores 53%.)
In the following 1-minute game, White has only two chances.
Black can run out of time.
That did not happen.
Black can move a bit too quickly.

Black has an overwhelming advantage. However, under intense time pressure, on his 74th move, he promoted a pawn to a Queen, creating a stalemate position - and the game is drawn. Promoting to a Rook would have won.
