Jerome Gambit: More 'Bot Play



I just encountered a YouTube video featuring a Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) played against another 'bot (computer simulation of a specific real chess player; see "Can the Fabiano Caruana Bot Defend Against Stockfish 14.1’s Jerome Gambit?" and Stockfish 14 playing against the Play Magnus [Carlsen] bot for other examples) - this time

"Chess engine Komodo 10 plays the Jerome Gambit against the Aman Hambleton bot" from Chess.com.

I doubt the bot plays anywhere near the strength of the real Aman Hambleton (see "Jerome Gambit: Chess Adventures of GM Hambleton [Parts 1 & 2]") - and I suspect that the Canadian Grandmaster would defeat Komodo 10 in real life - but the game is entertaining, and it always is fun to record another "1-0" on behalf of Alonzo Wheeler Jerome's creation.

The video is under 2 minutes, and the game is interesting and worth watching.
