Jerome Gambit: AI Once More

 


After the previous post, I decided to visit ChatGPT - an example of Artificial Intelligence (AI) - one more time and ask a couple more questions.

Of course, most of the general public, including chat bots, has a limited knowledge of chess and its intricacies. So I was not surprised when I asked ChatGPT about the Blackburne Shilling Gambit, and it replied that it was a chess opening that went 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Bc4. That is actually the Scotch Gambit, although Blackburne did play it a few times.

My final exchange was quite educational, however.

Have you ever heard of the Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit?

No, I haven't heard of the Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit. It's possible that it's a rare or obscure variation of the Blackburne Shilling Gambit, or a misnamed or entirely different line. The names and classifications of chess openings can sometimes be imprecise or controversial, and new or obscure lines are regularly discovered or devised. In any case, a deep understanding of the strategic and tactical elements of the game is more important than memorizing specific opening names and variations.


Take that, human being!
