Jerome Gambit: A Real Gem!



The latest Jerome Gambit game from my research... I have added diagrams.

A SPLENDID GAME! 

Mr. F. J. Burgoyne has kindly favoured us with the score of the following game, played in last week's match. He is to be warmly congratulated upon maintaining his good form, and is certainly one of the most improved players in the district. Mr. Feeney is one of the most brilliant and dashing players, and is to be commended for his pluck in offering the Gambit. The play is brilliant right from the commencement, and bristles with interest to the ending, which is conucted in masterly style by Black, the final mate being a real gem!
