Without making a comparison between Bill Wall and Snow White (for starters, I don't think that she played chess), I have to say that the following miniature Jerome Gambit game brings to mind the picture of the player with the White pieces simply whistling while he works...
Most likely, he leaves his apponent a bit Grumpy.
Wall, Bill - Akela
internet, 2026
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4 Bxd4 7.Qxd4 Nc6
According to The Database, Bill has played 8.Qc4+ 7 times, but has also moved his Queen to the d1, d2, d3 and d5 squares
8...Ke8
Or 8...Kf8 as in Wall,B - Guest526975, PlayChess.com 2016 (1-0, 18)
9.O-O d6 10.Nc3 Nf6
Or 10...Qe7 as in Wall,B - Kas55, lichess.org, 2016 (1-0, 17)
Black's King looks uncomfortable.
White keeps building his position.
11.Bf4 Qe7 12.Rad1 Be6 13.Qb5 Rb8 14.Rfe1 a6 15.Qd3 Rf8
16.Nd5 Ne5
Problems with the clock?
I attack your Queen, you attack my Queen, it's all good.
Instead, things hold together with 16...Qd7.
But, not now.
17.Bxe5
Part of Black's undoing.
17...dxe5
Alas, 17...Qf7 was best but not enough.
18.Nxe7
After Black captures the Knight, he will still only have two pieces for his Queen.
