Continuing my look into The Database (see "The Jerome Gambit: Helping or Hurting?", "Furthermore" and "And Then"), where I had examined how much help or hindrance the Jerome Gambit proper (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+), the Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Nc3 Bc5 5.Bxf7+), and the Semi-Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6 4.0-0 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bc5 6.Bxf7+).were on the actual (versus expected) outcomes of my games, I decided to see the effect of the Semi-Italian Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6 4.0-0 Bc5 5.Bxf7+).
I found 46 of my games.
Again, as expected in situations where I was offering "Jerome Gambit odds," the average rating of my opponents was about 36 points below mine, meaning that my expected score in the games was about 55%.
I scored 91%.
That is enough for me to continue to play the Jerome.
