Quoting from an earlier post, "Not Regarded to Be A Very Good Move (Part 1)"
The Bishop sacrifice goes by different names.
It has been referred to as the Noa Gambit. Charles Thomsas Blanshard, in his Examples of Chess Master-Play (1894) said of 5.Bxf7+ "The text move, a hobby of Dr. Noa, develops Black's game." See Noa,J - Makovetz,G, DSB-07 Kongress, Dresden, 1892 (0-1, 27).
It has also been called the Monck Gambit. In Pollock Memories: A Collection of Chess Games, Problems, &c., &c., Including His Matches with Eugene Delmar, Jackson Showalter, and G.H.D. Gossip (1899), William Henry Krause Pollock gave a crushing 19-move miniature ending in checkmate as "[A] very fine example, known in Dublin years ago as the 'Monck Gambit' ."
More recently, Rev. Tim Sawyer, of Blackmar Diemer Gambit fame, applied the very apt name "Open Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit".
5...Kxf7 6.Nxe4 d5 7.Neg5+
He is 12 - 0 with 7.Neg5+.
Playing bullet chess against angelcamina is slippery business.
7...Kg8 8.d4 h6 9.Nh3 Bxh3 10.gxh3 e4
So far, Black can be happy with his game - but, with his clock? I wonder.
11.Ne5 Nxe5 12.dxe5 c6 13.Rg1 Kh7 14.Qg4 Rg8
The threat is not to g7, but to g6, as White quickly shows. The loss of time is critical.
15.Qg6+ Kh8 16.Bxh6 Qe7 17.Bg5 Qxe5
When short on time, grab material.
Not this time.
18.Qh5 checkmate
