1st Jerome Gambit Race

I noticed that Chess.com recently held its 1st Jerome Gambit Race. The players, how they finished, and their scores 


#1 calcot (1448)                      4-2-0
#2 Merlin-Pendragon (1393)    3-3-0
#3 Jordi-I (1430)                     3-3-0
#4 couchpotatoe (1345)           2-4-0

Sadly, there was only one win by White (against what could have become a Blackburne or Whistler Defense).

In addition, in the following games White had commanding advantages until move 17 (first game) and move 24 (second game)
