It is interesting to see how quickly Black is dispatched on the following game. It takes a bit of familiarity with the Jerome Gambit, and some tactical skill (and a little help from Black) but White gets the job done, just like with a “regular” opening.
Wall, Bill - NN
Florida, 2019
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4 Ng4
The fun thing about being two pieces up is that you can find so many ways to give one back. This move is quite rare, but, of the four games with it, in The Database, two times Bill Wall was playing White. It is really hard to surprise him.
7.Qxg4
Bill has also played 7.dxc5, in Wall,B - LethoStark, lichess.org 2016 (1-0, 31). In that game, Black responded with the annoying 7...Qh4.
7...Bxd4 8.e5 Bxe5
The Bishop is not safe here, as Bill cleverly shows.
9.Qh5+ Ke6 10.Qh3+ Kd6 11.Qd3+ Ke7 12.Qe3 d6 13.f4 Nf6 14.fxe5 dxe5
15.Qxe5+ Be6
Material is now equal, and Black may have now consoled himself, Well, at least I still have an easy draw. That might explain this careless move, and the next two.
16.Nc3 Rf8 17.Be3 Ng4
Forking the enemy Bishop and Queen, and "punishing" White for his carelessness - at least that is probably what Black thought.
In fact, this tosses the game away.
18.Bc5+ Kf7 19.O-O+ Nf6 20.Bxf8 Qxf8 21.Ne4 Kg8 22.Qxe6+ Black resigned
