Chess friend Yury Bukayev pointed out a video by GM Larry Christiansen, titled "Julian Hodgsen: A modern Blackburne" and containing
ECO: C50, A45: Giuoco Piano: Jerome gambit, Trompowsky attack (Ruth, Opocenský opening)
Players: Blackburne, Hodgson, Martin
Reading through some of the promotional material, I found
The never-to-be-forgotten ‘perfect checkmate’ unleashed by attacking pioneer Joseph Blackburne. Get a Knight and Queen near the enemy King and this is on!
Christiansen's videos appear to be collections of annotated games.
The above quote refers to the lesson for month 8, day 3, in Christiansen's "Attacking Chess Mega Bundle" of chess videos. The title of the lesson is "Attacking Pioneer Joseph Blackburne".
Clearly it is referring to the Jerome Gambit game Amateur - Blackburne, London, 1884.
Still, it might be fun to see what the GM has to say about the line.
By the way, back in 2011 I posted "A GM plays the Jerome Gambit??" about Christiansen.

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing. I will point it out in a post. If you can't laugh, you shouldn't be playing the Jerome Gambit.
