Again and again...


While it is true that the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) can have quite an impact when it comes as a surprise, there are some players who are willing to play it again and again against the same opponent, as long as it leads to good results. Mrjoker, for example, has played the Jerome Gambit 16 times against his worthy opponent PhlebasP. Scoring over 80% so far, he is unlikely to give up the opening in their next clash.
