Piece Development vs Pawns



The following Jerome Gambit miniature, featuring long-time Jerome Gambit Gemeinde member Louis Morin (also known as "mrjoker") playing White, showcases Black developing all of his pieces, including his extra one, while his opponent gathers in pawns. The game ends abruptly in the face of a rather intimidating gathering of "Jerome pawns".

15.Qxe7+ Nxe7 16.Bxc5 Kg8 17.Bxa7 Ng6 18.f4


Black has completed his development and castled-by-hand. His extra Knight, however, is outweighed by White's 6 extra pawns.

Black resigned
