Crime and Punishment



I have been having a lot of fun looking through games in the new version of The Database. The short games seem to be examples of chessic "crime and punishment."

DEDave - petergajendra
standard, FICS, 2011

1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nc6 3.Nf3 Na5


Here we have that nameless variation that seems to hope for 4.Bb3 Nxb3, and could always be met with 4.Nxe5, but which calls out to be Jerome-ized.

4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Kf6


Not quite believing that White has enough for his piece. Otherwise, he would have kept the game about even with 5...Ke7.

6.d4 d6

A little too much of "business as usual".

7.Qf3+ Ke6 8.Qf7 checkmate
