Once again, chessfriend Philidor 1792 shows the "hidden" trap in many Jerome Gambit games - Black may be able to solve all of the problems thrown at him, but if he is incautious in his use of time, the falling flag will undo him - regardless of his advantage on the board.

8.Qb3+ Qe6
Better 8...d5.
9.Qxe6+ dxe6 10.Nc3 c6 11.Rg1 Bd6 12.Nc4 Bxh2 13.Rg2 Bf4 14.Ne2 Nd5 15.Na5 Nd7 16.c4 Be5
Black opts to return a piece. Better might have been 16...Bc7.
17.cxd5 exd5 18.f4 Bc7 19.Nb3 Nf6
Black's extra pawn and the two Bishops still give him the advantage.
20.g5 Ne4 21.d3 Nd6 22.Bd2 Nf5 23.O-O-O Kf7 24.g6+ hxg6 25.Rdg1 Rh6 26.Ned4 Nxd4 27.Nxd4 Bb6 28.Be3 Bxd4 29.Bxd4 Bf5
White would like to take advantage of the Bishops-of-opposite-colors to pursue drawing chances, but with all the Rooks on the board, that would be difficult.
