Every European School Girl Knows...

As IM Gary Lane mentions in his current "Opening Lanes" column
at ChessCafe.com, I had a difficult time choosing the "best" or "most important" modern Jerome Gambit games to pass along to him.

Silly me, I fogot about the following classic. While it may be true that there is a lot of chess that "every Russian school boy knows," it seems that "every European school girl knows" that when it comes time for a pre-arranged draw, the Jerome Gambit is a great choice.
