In the following game, White is headed for the Jerome, when his opponent takes a sideline - and, then, another. It is time to administer the "Jerome cure" to Black, although the patient did not survive.
hastrman - KingRuffus
FICS, 2020
1.e4 Nc6 2.Nf3 e5 3.Bc4 h6
The Semi-Italian Opening.
4.Nc3 Na5
Black's position can tolerate either his 3rd or his 4th move, but the combination of the two spells disaster, as White quickly points out.
5.Bxf7+
The Database has 88 games with this move. White scores a healthy 86%.
5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Kf6
Black's best move was 6...Ke6, but his King would still be in great danger after 7.Qh5. White's Knights would have many brutal forks after the second one joined in at d5, definitely a position worth exploring.
White now has a forced checkmate, and his opponent ends the game quickly.
7.Qh5 Qe7 8.Qf5 checkmate
