Sometimes, in finding a way to avoid an attack, the defender finds himself in even more of a problem.
In that case, the "cure" can be worse than the "illness".

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bb4
Well, isn't that an interesting way to avoid the Jerome Gambit.
I have not faced this defense.
Bill has faced it - and played it.
4.a3
Kicking the Bishop.

5...d5
The more reserved 5...d6 was called for, instead.
6.exd5 Nxd4 7.Nxe5 Bc5
Black might have tried 7...Nf5, intending ...Nd6, but 8.Bb5+ Kf8 9.O-O would have kept White's advantage.
8.O-O Qh4
Remember the old adage Three pieces and an attack - it doesn't apply here.
9.Re1 Bh3
Optimism.
10.Ng6+ Black resigned
Black will lose his Queen, and also a minor piece.
