Consider Chess magazine, volume 3, issue 39, 1937 (page 4) where readers learn of a club player who
...light-heartedly embarks on the Jerome Gambit against the Club's Board No. 1 player. Unfortunaterly, however, the latter is apparently ignorant of the correct reply moves as given in the Secretary's "Chess Openings" text book, and the result is catastrophic - for the Secretary!
Ah, yes, how many times have we heard this kind of story?
