RHP JG Tourney Round 1 Games (1)


In the ongoing RedHotPawn.com Jerome Gambit thematic tournament previously mentioned, a couple of kinds of players need to be mentioned: those who join because the opening looks new and interesting or challenging or fun; and those who join because they have some knowledge of the opening, and want to test their understanding against others.

The first kind can quickly come undone, as sacrificing a piece or two is very risky, if it only leads to an "unclear" position. The second kind can stretch the knowledge of the opening - especially if they are paired against each other.

Another RHP Jerome Gambit Tournament (Round 1)



As I mentioned earlier, while wandering around the RedHotPawn.com website I ran into a couple of Jerome Gambit thematic tournaments from 2013. Since it has been a while since this blog covered a thematic tourney, I thought it would be nice to present all the games. (I have selected a few for individual attention.)

Here is the first round of the second tournament (won by ), starting from the Jerome Gambit position:
