Real - and Un-Real

Recently I exchanged emails with someone interested in unorthodox chess openings, in particular, the Jerome Gambit, via the Unorthodox Chess Openings newsgroup at Yahoo!

Bonjour,

For now, Jerome Gambit for Dummies exists only in my imagination, as host of the blog jeromegambit.blogspot.com; and in the creativity of the Jerome Gambit Gemeinde - those who fearlessly play 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+.

Please stop by, feel free to chuckle or guffaw - and send in your own Jerome Gambit games, won or lost, as White or Black.

Hello,

Thanks you for answer, all is clear. I have never played the Jerome Gambit but why not!! I play many times Bishop Opening. Do you know a Jerome database for download?

I hope to study a little this gambit before play it

Regards.
