Jerome Gambit: Mattoscacco



Long-time contributor to this blog Yury V. Bukayev points out an Italian language video focusing on the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+"Apertura Imbattibile di Scacchi | Gambetto Jerome" (and even mentioning this blog with a screen shot of "Jerome Gambit: I Am Not Encouraging "Perfect Chess").

One of a number of presentations by Mattoscacco, this video takes a light-hearted approach as it touches on main line Jerome play, as well as taking a peek at 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Bxf7+ and 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bc4 Nxe4 4.Bxf7+

Although my knowledge of Italian is quite limited, I enjoyed looking at the variations given. 

At 17 minutes, it is worth a look - and listen.
