Trick or Treat / Sing Along

From Jerome Gambit Gemeinde Member Bill Wall:

Rick,


After reading your doom and gloom article, I wanted to play the same variation, but got a different one with 6...Bxd4 instead of 6...Bb4. But instead of doom and gloom, it was Trick or Treat as I tricked my opponent with some exchanges, including the Queens, and was treated with a win in 21 moves.

Wall,B - Bersekergang
blitz 10 0, FICS, 2011


1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+


4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4 Bxd4


7.Qxd4 Qf6

As old as the unfinished correspondence game, Alonzo Jerome - D.P. Norton, 1876.

8.Qc5 Qd6

For some very odd reason, this game reminds me of the Blue Man Group music video, featuring Dave Matthews; I imagine the song referred to was titled "d6".

9.Qxd6 cxd6


10.0-0 Nf6 11.Nc3 a6 12.Rd1 Ke7 13.b3 b5 14.Ba3 Nf7 15.e5 Ne8


16.exd6+ Nexd6 17.Ne4 Bb7 18.Nxd6 Nxd6 19.Rxd6 Kd8 20.Rad1

20...Bc6

A slip, no doubt leaving Bersekergang feeling, well, blue.

21.Rxc6 Black resigned
