Jerome Gambit, Over the Board, Around the World

From a recent email:


Dear Rick,

I send you a Jerome Gambit played yesterday in the championship in my city (Chivilcoy, Buenos Aires province, Argentina). The game... shows that there are brave players who dare to play the Jerome. 
The game was played 90 minutes + 30 seconds incrementThe characters are low level players, but Carlos Barsoba has read the few articles of yours that I have translated into Spanish in my website.

Regards!
