As progsnosticated, I have finished first in Group 5 in the second round of the "Giuoco Piano Game" tournament at Chess.com, scoring 5 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws.
My score with the Jerome Gambit was a decent 3 wins and a 1 loss.
Two players from each group will move on to round three. It will be accompanied by either Ryszak (1 game unfinished) or MoMalek11 (2 games unfinished), although my assessment of the current positions that they are playing suggest that it will be the former.
Going into the third round, from Group 2 will be auswebby and DocBrowne, who I have also played the Jerome against.
Taking into account unfinished games in other groups, it is possible that 18, 19 (if 3 players in group 8 tie for first), or 20 (if 3 players in group 8 tie for first and the tournament director promotes the highest scoring additional player to make 4 groups with equal numbers) players in total could advance, most likely sorted into 4 groups.
More Jerome Gambits ahead!
