From a recent email:
Hi Rick,
I enjoy your blog every day, and try to play the Jerome every time I play blitz on ICC (every day 1 hour or so) but most of the time my opponents play the most bizarre opening: 1.---- c5 !!!and the like.
The 26/11-2008 I got lucky, although my opponent played 3. Bc4 h6!!

blitz ICC, 2008
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6 4.Nc3 Bc5
5.Bxf7+ Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.Qh5+ g6 8.Qxe5
8...Bd6 9.Qxh8 Be7 10.Qh7+ Kf6 11.e5+ (would 11.Nd5+ have been better ?)
[After 11.Nd5+ Ke5 ( if 11...Ke6 12.Nxc7+ And Black will either fall into various mating traps or lose his Queen.) 12.Qf7 Black is marginally better than with the text - Rick]12...Kxe5 13.d4+ Kf6 14.Ne4+ Ke6 15.Qxg6+ Kd5 16.Qf5+
Rather weak played by MrRealEstate but then again that's blitz.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
