Jerome Gambit: Old Relative

In the fifth round of the U.S. championship, Grandmaster Awonder Liang uncorked an old Jerome Gambit relative, the Sarratt Attack, arising out of the Scotch Gambit, against Grandmaster Levon Aronian, and won in 29 moves.

(J. H. Sarratt, "Professor of Chess" is a good article by batgirl at Chess.com.)

The game is given a close look by Grandmaster Rafael Leitao in the "Game of the Day" at Chess.com.
