Anatoly Karpov & Jerome Gambit (Part 10)

  

 Anatoly Karpov & Jerome Gambit (Part 10)   

  

(by Yury V. Bukayev) 

 

   

The Part 10 of this my work is about wrong Anatoly Karpov (in contrast with my Part 2 and with my Part 6). Thus, it contains my new notable Jerome gambit (JG) games against the well-known (due to his games against me and not only it) chess amateur Anatoly Karpov, a father of a little boy (my first game against him was shown in the Part 3). These new games were played in Moscow this year.  

 

Thus, after his losses in our games of 2022-2024 Anatoly suggested me to play against JG (in contrast with our previous games). I agreed, and we have played several games. Here is our 1st game among those ones which develop Jerome gambit theory:  

 

 

Karpov, Anatoly (father)  -- Bukayev, Yury 

 

rapid, 15+0 

 

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6 7.Qd5+ Ke8 8.Qxc5 d6 9.Qb5+ Qd7 10.Qe2 Nf4 11.Qf3 Qg4

White resigned. 

And here is our 2nd game among those ones which develop Jerome gambit theory:  

 

 

Karpov, Anatoly (father)  -- Bukayev, Yury 

 

rapid, 15+0 

 

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4 Bb4+ 7.c3 Qh4 8.0-0 Ng4 9.h3 Be7 10.hxg4 h5 11.g3 Qh3 12.g5 h4 13.g6+ Kxg6 14.g4 d6 15.f3 Qg3+ 16.Kh1 Nf6

White resigned. 

I thank Anatoly for his efforts! He could play stronger in the 1st JG-game (9.Qe3!) and in the 2nd game (6.Qh5+!, 11.g5! etc.), and, it maybe, he will do it next time.
