The Wisdom of The Database (Part 3)



We continue (see the earlier "Opening Report" parts 12, and 3) to use ChessBase's Opening Report function to take a look at the games in The Database. 

As a reminder, the Report gathers what lines are being played, and what lines are being used by the top players in the database. It gives a good "real life" view of the play of the Jerome Gambit, even if it does not always identify the objectively best move or line.
