With over 1,400 games in The Database, Bill Wall has a good idea about what works, and doesn't work, against the Jerome Gambit. He is prepared for the resistance.
Here is more proof.
Wall, Bill - Andress
Internet, 2026
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4
According to The Database, Bill scores 93% with 6.d4, as opposed to "only" 90% with 6.Qh5+.
6...Bxd4 7.Qxd4 Qf6
This position should look familiar.
It is, to Bill, as he has scored 33 - 1 - 1 from this postion.
8.Qc5 c6 9.f4 Ng4 10.O-O Ke8
Comparing King safety, it is understandable that Stockfish 16.1 evaluates Black with a small edge, despite having a piece-for-a-pawn material advantage.
11.h3 N4h6 12.Nc3 Ne7 13.Be3 Qh4
Renewing his presence on the Kingside.
With White's Bishop on e3, it might have been a bit more helpful to play 13...b6, as, after 14.Qa3 (moving the Queen out of play) c5 15.Rad1 Nf7 Back would still have his edge, although, then, 16.b4!? would be interesting.
14.Rad1
Holding back the d-pawn, which locks in the Bishop,which constrains the Rook.
14...Qg3 15.Rf3
Ejecting the Queen right away.
15...Qg6
This allows a pawn strike. Instead, 15...Qh4 probably would have led to some quiet wood shifting.
16.f5 Qf7
What comes next, Readers?
17.f6
Of course.
17...b6
A bit late.
18.Qe5 gxf6 19.Rxf6
19...Qg8 20.Rxh6 Kd8 21.Bg5
White has 5 pieces developed. Black has 2.
21...Qe8 22.Rxc6 Rg8 23.Qc7 checkmate
