A GM Weighs In on the Jerome Gambit


I recently received an email from David Black (see "Exploring the Evans Jerome Gambit", "Alternate Universe" and "Influence") with some hilarious news.


Hiya Richard, 
Thought you would be interested in this. 
Jon Speelman former world championship candidate has started a new column and was asking for readers games. So I sent him one of my Jerome gambit games for a bit of fun and here is his response. 
Hi Dave,
Many thanks,
What a splendidly purulent gambit which nevertheless must be horrible to face in a five minute game and quite tough at slower time limits.
Cheers,
Jon
 

cheers
Dave 

I think Dave is referring to GM Speelman's new "Agony Column" at ChessBase.com. It should be very, very interesting.
