Help-mate


I was wandering through The Database when I ran across the following amusing game. It finishes like a "help-mate", which is probably not too surprising for a Jerome Gambit played at a lightning time control...


JKELSEY - raol 
lightning, FICS, 2001


1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 




4...Kf8


The Jerome Gambit Declined, a rare choice.


5.Bb3 Ke7


An extravagance that Black can ill afford; but the Jerome can leave a defender dizzy.


6.d3 Nf6 7.Bg5 Re8 8.Bxf6+ gxf6 9.Nh4 Kd6 10.Nf5 checkmate
