The next game is an effort from smooth-moves06 - He read about the Jerome Gambit in my emails and gave it a try...

smooth-moves06 - Zorz
ICC blitz 5 0, ICC, 2004


The Opening - The Jerome Gambit, about 150 years old.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 7.Qxc5

Not so bad for a Jerome Gambit - 2 pawns plus a displaced King for a piece. I still like Black but I've seen worse.

7...d6 8.Qe3 Nf6 9.f4 Nxe4

Ooops

10.0-0 Re8 11.f5 Nf8 12.Qb3+ Kf6 13.d3 Nc5 14.Qc3+ Kf7 15.Qc4+ Kf6
16.h4


Smooth-moves06 is making a fight of it, giving his opponent no peace of mind.

16...h6 17.g4 Re2 18.g5+ Ke7 19.f6+ gxf6 20.gxf6+ Kd7 21.Qf7+ Kc6 22.d4 Be6 23.Qh5

Time -
White - smooth-moves06 - 84 seconds -
Black - Zorz - - 70 seconds

Zorz gets a phone call or freaks out and spends 54 seconds here, dooming him to lose on time.

23...Re5 24.dxe5 dxe5 25.Qf3+ Bd5 26.Qc3 Black
resigns
