Jerome Gambit: Skyrocketing



GM Aman Hambleton's video on the Jerome Gambit (approaching a half million views) has had a gigantic effect on the popularity of the opening. Many players have written to me to share a link to the video, and to say that it had inspired them to play the Jerome. It is humorous and educational and well worth the watch.

A recent post on Reddit by u/hold_my_fish gave data to show how the popularity of playing 3 0 Jerome Gambit games at lichess.org had skyrocketed, since the video.


Many thanks to GM Hambleton and u/hold_my_fish.
