A new Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc3 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) video has just been posted on YouTube, and it is definitely worth the watch.
"Most AGGRESSIVE gambit? Jerome Gambit" by ChessGeek is inspired by GM Aman Hambleton's play (see "All In Good Fun") and shows both enthusiasm and the proper mental attitude for playing the game: objectively, some lines are clearly busted (e.g. capturing the Rook when facing Whistler's Defense) but are still the better choice, as things are so tricky/trappy that White has plenty of chances - of course, this could be said about the entire Jerome Gambit.
The video is about 9 1/2 minutes long, and if it doesn't get you even more enthusiastic about the Jerome Gambit - well, there's always the Exchange Slav that you can switch to...
