Double Tap



The following position, from a game in the current ChessWorld Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) Thematic Tournament, develops a theme first presented three weeks ago in a Sunday Tournament Update: the apparently misplaced Bishop that is too deadly to capture (Black has just played 10...Bh3).


However, even though White in this game refuses the piece, a similar continuation comes about.

11.Bxf6 Qxf6 12.Nd5 Nf3+


Black's move reminds me of the "double tap", explained by "Columbus" (my home town) in the over-the-top movie "Zombieland".

White resigned.
