Sometimes a move or line is given a generic label (e.g. "5.a3 Variation"), but when possible it is given the name of the person known to have played it first.
(This is based upon my 9 years of research into the Jerome Gambit. Of course, further discoveries may change things.)
There are a few exceptions (e.g. 5...Kf8, the "Sorensen Variation"), where the name given refers to someone who did significant analysis of the line, or greatly popularized it (e.g. 7...d6, the "Blackburne Variation").

Cheers Rick. Nice to see that you've kept me in there :)
ReplyDeletePete,
ReplyDeleteAs someone who plays the Jerome Gambit over-the-board more than anyone that I (or Grandmaster Gary Lane) know of, it is fitting for your name to be attached to your variation.
I hope that more research -- in history, on games in the New Year's Database, from a review of the first year-and-a-half of postings to this blog -- will add more names to the list.
