Jerome Gambit: More From An Old Friend

 

Boosting yesterday's post on the appearance of the old Sarratt Attack in the 2022 U.S. Championship, here is a site that has two videos featuring analysis of the game between Grandmaster Awonder Liang and Grandmaster Levon Aronian - including one featuring Grandmaster Liang himself.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Bc4 Bc5 5.Ng5 Nh6 6.Nxf7 Nxf7 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7 8.Qh5+ g6 9.Qxc5

It is fascinating to see a Jerome Gambit similar - and possible inspiration - line of play at the grandmaster level in 2022.
