From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Sunday June 18, 1876
End Game No. 4
White - K at KKt6, Kt at KB6, P at KR6 and P at QR3
Black - K at KR, P at QB6, P at QB5 and P at QR3
The above position, which we take from the "Dubuque," is from actual play; A.W. Jerome (white) versus Mr. Steele (black). White had the move, and was about to resign; he played instead and won.
We invite the close attention of solvers to this ending, and hope to receive solutions, though we don't expect many.
Today is the first day of the New Year, January 1, 2010, and what should I discover as a "comment" to this blog post but an advertisement for Viagra...
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it is simply an error by an advert-bot, or if someone is making a snide comment about the Jerome Gambit, but I decided not allow the comment to be posted.
