If Chess Were Only This Kind


Some themes repeat themselves regularly in the Jerome Gambit. White's Queen-check that allows gathering in an errant Knight is one example, as Bill Wall shows in the game below. Suprise followed by disappointment and disspirited play on behalf of the defender is another.

Wall, Bill - Guest7492034

PlayChess.com, 2014

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.O-O


We have seen another idea, 4.Bb3 Bc5 5. Bxf7+, in Philidor1792 - bichara22, Online chess, 2013 (1-0, 15). 


4...Bc5 5.Bxf7+ 


5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.d4 Re8 




Instead, 7...Bd6 was recently seen in "A Tale of Two Knights".


7...Re8 is reminiscent of Wall,B - Santiago,D, Chess.com, 2010 (1-0, 28) I've faced it a few times myself,


8.dxc5 Kg8


This was Black's idea, to return a piece and castle-by-hand.


9.f4 Ng6 10.e5 Ne4


Playing "aggressively" against White's obviously erronious aggression. If chess were only this kind.


11.Qd5+ Kh8 12.Qxe4 


12...Qh4 13.g3 Qh3 14.Nc3 Rb8 15.Nb5 b6 16.Nxc7 Bb7 17.Qe2 Rf8 


Black does not have enough compensation for his material deficit. His play shows that he is unsettled.


18.Be3 Rbc8 19.Nb5 bxc5 20.Nd6 Rb8 21.Nxb7 Rxb7 22.Bxc5 Re8 23.b4 d6 24.Bxd6 Black resigned




White's "Jerome pawns" will win the day.

Another Delayed Jerome Gambit


In the following game Black's pieces do not know what to do with White's advancing pawns, and so decide to retreat and jump out of the way - leaving the field open for White's Queen.

Casual Game Online chess portal http://ch (1), 2013

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Bb3 Bc5 5.Bxf7+



Another delayed Jerome Gambit, as in Philidor 1792 - guest1063, blitz 3 0, www.bereg.ru, 2013 (1-0, 37) and Philidor 1792 - guest3, 3 0 blitz, www.bereg.ru, 2013 (1-0, 22).


5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.d4 Re8 




Black'smove is reasonable, but there is only one other example in The Database, Cossyphus - HarryPaul, blitz, FICS, 2004 (0-1, 33)


8.0-0 Bd6 9.f4 Ng6 10.e5 Be7 11.f5 Nh4 12.Nc3 Ng8



The "Jerome pawns" advance, scattering all resistance.
