Oooops!

Despite my best efforts, the 2012 version of The Database will be delayed at least a week. I have yet to add all of the games from the current ChessWorld Jerome Gambit Thematic tournament. I would like to also add all of the relevant games played at the Free Internet Chess Server (FICS) through the end of the year.

The Database is a free PGN collection of (soon to be) over 26,000 Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+), Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4 4.Bxf7+), and Semi-Italian Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6 4.0-0/4.Nc3/4.d3 Bc5 5.Bxf7+) games; as well as games following the so-far-unnamed order 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Na5 4.Bxf7+.

A good number of the games in The Database are either Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambits (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Nc3 Bc5 5.Bxf7+) or Semi-Italian Four Knight Jerome Gambits (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 h6 4.0-0/4.Nc3 Nf6 5.Nc3 / 5.0-0 Bc5 6.Bxf7+).

    Readers,

    I just received a large file of games from/by Bill Wall. It includes about 40 Jerome Gambit (and related) games that are new to me. Of course, they will make their way into The Database, too.
