blitz, FICS, 2011
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Na5
This variation does not seem to have a name, while it does have a simple response, 4.Nxe5. Still, it can be fun to apply the Jerome treatment every once-in-a-while.
4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Ke8
Better is 5...Ke7.
6.Qh5+ g6 7.Nxg6 Nc6
While experiencing an attack on the Kingside, Black takes a moment to pull back his exposed Queen's Knight.
As a result, his position collapses like a house of cards.
Black can cut down his opponent's advantage by giving up a piece and heading toward a messy position: 7...hxg6 8.Qxg6+ Ke7 9.d4 Bh6 10.Bg5+ Bxg5 11.Qxg5+ Nf6 12.e5 Ke6.
8.Nxh8+
White is facing a candy store of a position, with many attractive choices.
The text wins, but in fairness to all of the tactically alert Readers out there, let me point out that there is also a checkmate pattern similar to one from the Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit: 8.Ne5+ Ke7 9.Qf7+ Kd6 10.Nc4+ Kc5 11.Qd5+ Kb4 12.c3+ Ka4 13.b3 checkmate.
Rather than criticize, it is best to sit back and watch the fireworks.
8...Ke7 9.Qf7+ Kd6 10.Qxg8 b6
11.Nf7+ Ke7 12.Nxd8 Nxd8 13.Qh8 Ba6 14.Qxh7+ Nf7 15.d3 Re8 16.0-0
White has gained enough material to win. First he safeguards against any possible blitz surprises or oversights.
16...d5
17.Bg5+ Ke6 18.Qg6+ Kd7 19.Qxf7+ Black resigned
