Wow...

I recently received 15 new Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) games from Philidor1792 of Russia. They cover a range of opening lines, from those problematic for White to those that are looking more optimistic.

Philidor1792 pointed out, however, that since the word had gotten around that he plays the Jerome Gambit, more and more opponents have been avoiding that line of play.

Wow.

That is worth a moment of reflection.

Running away from the Jerome Gambit...

Who'd a thunk it?
