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

"The nudge", a sign that the player may be familiar with the games and analysis of this blog.
7...Ke8 8.Qxc5 d6 9.Qb5+
Varying from the mundane 9.Qe3. This is a line that shugart has a lot of experience with.

10.Qb3
He has also played 10.Qe2 Nf6 11.O-O Kf7 12.f4 Re8 13.Nc3 Qg4 14.Qc4+ Kf8 15.d3 Be6 16.Qxc7 Rac8 17.Qxb7 Kg8 18.f5 Nh4 19.e5 19...Bd5 20.Nxd5 Qxg2 checkmate, shugart - glemzy, FICS, 2013.
10...Qe6 11.Qe3 Nf6 12.Nc3 Kf7 13.O-O Re8
The game has reached the same position reached in shugart - transitman, lightning, FICS, 2013 (1-0, 29), and others, although in the earlier game Black's Queen was at e8.
14.f4 Qc4 15.d3 Qc5 16.d4 Qh5 17.e5 dxe5 18.fxe5 Kg8
White now puts a bit too much faith in his "Jerome pawns" with his next move - although things turn out fine in the end.
19.exf6 Rxe3 20.f7+ Kf8 21.Bxe3 c6 22.d5 Bg4
Not the best defense.
