Counting

There is an old adage about "not counting your chickens before they are hatched", but with a King and two (connected, passed) pawns against a King in my final game of the second Chess.com "Italian Game" thematic tournament that I am playing in, I would like to consider it to be a full point scored.


That would leave me at 4 - 4 for the first round, possibly good enough for the top 10 finishers, but only third in my 5-player group (of five), from which the top two players advance.


It would probably take something strange, like the top finisher in one of the groups withdrawing (oops, someone did that), for me to have a chance at a few more Jerome Gambits...
