Jerome Gambit: Recent Draws



Draws in Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) games are relatively rare. Either White's wild attack crashes through, or Black's defense wins the day.

The following drawn endings are therefore interesting, if a bit amusing.




Mwafakalhaswa - Chesstahiri, 3 2 blitz, TINDJAD, 2021 (1/2-1/2, 101)
Most 3-minute games do not last over 100 moves.


emv1 - Weirco, 1 0 bullet, lichess.org, 2022 (1/2-1/2, 57)
Simple enough: a draw.




Chessyyy - sulimanchess, 10 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2022 (1/2-1/2, 72)
Explanation: White ran out of time, and Black did not have mating material.


jerrylorry - amrab123454321, 5 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2022 (1/2-1/2, 71)
Without any pawns, the extra Bishop is not enough.


vrijeme - majalcmaj, 10 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2022 (1/2-1/2, 61)
Explanation: Black ran out of time, and White did not have mating material.


lazernicky - Sluntyai, 10 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2022 (1/2-1/2, 72)
Bishops-of-opposite colors endgames can be drawn, even when one player has an extra pawn.
