The Jerome Gambit opening variation in the following bullet game is a repeat of the previous game preseted by angelcamina. Moving on familiar territory only speeds up White's play, and intensifies his attack when Black falters.

Most recently seen in the post "Jerome Gambit: Home-Made Defense", this defense doesn't really work.
8.Qxh8 Bf6 9.Qxh7+ Bg7 10.O-O d6 11.d3
A slight improvement over 11.f4, played in angelcamina - medved29 , 1 0 bullet, lichess.org.
11...Qf6 12.f4 Bg4 13.h3 Bd7 14.f5 Ne7
Pretty much ending the game, except for chances on time.

Checkmate is coming.
If the Jerome Gambit comes as a surprise, the defender has to construct some kind of defense, even if it is home-made. In the following bullet game, Black's efforts lead to a quick disaster.

With one minute (and no increment) for the whole game, it is difficult to create a defense from scratch.
Instead, 7...d6 would have been the Blackburne defense, while 7...Qe7 would have been the Whistler defense. Both lead to lively play.
8.Qxh8 Bf6
Black's idea, but it doesn't work. He could have kept his deficit at the exchange and a couple of pawns with 8...Nf6 9.Qxd8 Bxd8 10.Nc3 d5, but he would still face the prospect of being ground down.

Black will lose the Knight, leaving him a Rook and a couple pawns down.
