Tourney Update
Play has been pretty fast and furious for me in the Chess.com Italian Game Thematic Tournament (see "Started").
I have drawn both my games against top-rated JoseSoza, the two completed games so far.
However, vz721, one sharp player (second-rated in our quad), improved on some of Alonzo Wheeler Jerome's original analysis (!) and has been treating my one Jerome Gambit rather harshly. I am currently hanging in there, but the phrase "punch drunk" comes to mind...
With Black against MarkHundleby1, I am defending well against his Evans Gambit. When that is complete, I will have my last chance at a Jerome Gambit - and therein lies an interesting tale for a later date.
