It must be a new year...

As I pointed out in "Once A Year" it seems that about that often the following Jerome Gambit gamelet gets played.

It is early in the year, so perhaps there is still time for some late "New Year's resolutions" that might eliminate this kind of thing from happening again.

We can hope. After all, it was a lightning game.
