Recently I noticed a tweet (via Twitter) from ParamountDealz ("Manufacturer and supplier of the world's finest chess products: Chess Sets, Chess boards, Tournament chess combos, Chess Clocks, Chess bags, Scorebooks") about the "extremely aggressive opening JEROME GAMBIT" which very clearly describes the topic of this blog
The Jerome Gambit is an extremely aggressive opening that usually derives from the Guioco Piano. White sacrifices both his king side bishop and knight in exchange for an exposed king and the possibility of an aggressive attack. Moves usually start with: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 White usually continues with Qh5+ . This gets the most important piece into the attack early and leaves black with the most possibilities to blunder.
That about sums it up, doesn't it?
(For some reason Google Translate felt the need to translate the tweet from Bulgarian to English, although ParamountDealz is a company based in India. Go figure.)
