Surely we can develop some opening theory. Jerome Gambit arises after the Giuoco Piano. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 Normal position right? 4.Bxf7+!! Kxf7 No we aren't done yet 5.Nxe5+!! Temporary piece sacrifice 5...Nxe5 6.Qh5+ (6.d4 Qh4 and black is the one attacking) 6...g6 The game continues. What do you think of this kamikaze opening?

Kamikaze is a good word for this opening!

If white wants to lose, he has several alternatives to this one. Simplest is 4. resigns.

It is bizarre when someone proposes a line where all candidate moves by the opponent win, even the ones that violate general chess principles.

This gambit is almost like disrespecting chess as a game. It's a forced loss. Seems like an opening for a game which you need to loose so that your friend can brag about defeating you to his girl.

And the OP gave move 4 two !!  So it must be good.
