Needles and Pins



Here is the latest Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc3 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game (with notes) from Bill Wall. He does make it all look so simple.





Rick,

I was on pins and needles (well, mostly pins) with this game. It does look like the pin is stronger than the sword in the Jerome Gambit.
