Here, like yesterday, we have another "First of the Year" game.*
If anyone read my "Return of Jerome Gambit for Dummies (Part 2)" and decided, for whatever reason, that I was endorsing White's 5th move, let me please disambiguate: a mention is not an endorsement; don't play 5.Ng5+.
caraneo - vargahz
blitz, FICS, 2012
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Ng5+ White resigned
(*Okay, it's actually the second example of the opening of the year 2012, as far as I can determine from The Database. Even worse, gulp, is that the day before, White played 5.Ng5+ and drew. PureKnight - agno, lightning, FICS, 2012: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Ng5+ Ke8 6.Qf3 Qe7 7.Nc3 Nf6 8.Nd5 Nxd5 9.exd5 Nd4 10.Qh5+ g6 11.Qd1 Qxg5 12.0-0 Qh5 13.d3 d6 14.Qxh5 gxh5 15.c3 Nf5 16.b4 Bb6 17.Bg5 a6 18.Rae1 Rg8 19.Bh4 Nxh4 20.g3 Nf3+ 21.Kg2 Nxe1+ 22.Rxe1 h4 23.d4 hxg3 24.hxg3 Bg4 25.dxe5 dxe5 26.Rxe5+ Kd7 27.Re4 Rae8 28.Rf4 Ref8 29.Re4 Rxf2+ 30.Kg1 Rf3+ 31.Kh2 Bf5 32.Rf4 Rxf4 33.gxf4 Be4 34.Kh3 h5 35.d6 Kxd6 36.c4 Bf3 37.c5+ Bxc5 38.bxc5+ Kxc5 39.a4 Bg4+ 40.Kh4 Rf8 41.f5 Rxf5 42.Kg3 Rd5 43.a5 Kb5 44.Kf4 Kxa5 45.Ke4 b5 46.Kxd5 b4 47.Kc6 Ka4 48.Kxc7 b3 49.Kb6 a5 50.Ka6 Black ran out of time and White has no material to mate ½-½. Still: caveat emptor)
