In the Email

This past week was a good one for receiving Jerome Gambit games in the email. First Argentina, then the United Kingdom, and now from the United States, thanks to Bill Wall.

Rick,

Here is my latest game, a Four Knights Jerome Gambit, played at 15 minutes per game.  He got his queen and king pinned on move 23.  He gave up another pawn after 12...Rf8, trying to makle a discovered attack on my queen.  After 18...Rf5, I had to watch out for Rg5.  After 20.Rae1, he can't play 20...Qxa2 due to Qxg7 mate.
