Jerome Gambit: Drilling Down (26)


After the previous one-sided adventure (see "Jerome Gambit: Drilling Down (25)") the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) seemed to be on its last legs against the 7...d6 defense, and the following game – even though it is a humorous draw – adds to the Jerome's misery, as the computer Hiarcs 8, playing White, "panics" (as did Crafty 19.19 before it: see "Jerome Gambit: Drilling Down (22)") and forces an early draw.

A pleasant break for RevvedUp, nonetheless.
