Chances are that the first Jerome Gambit game you were exposed to was Amateur - Blackburne, London, 1884.
Many chess players are at least passingly familiar. The game is probably the most published example of 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+.
Hmm... Where have I seen that before?
I had that same feeling when I watched the YouTube video"CRUSH YOUR OPPONENT WITH JEROME GAMBIT Brilliant Sacrifices" by notcoderayaan.
Fun game.
Where have I seen that before?
I did a quick search on this blog and found the recent "Jerome Gambit: Familiar?" As I wrote there
As I was playing over the moves in a pretty cool Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game highlighted in the YouTube video "Mating Attack!How to destroy it in The Brutal Jerome Gambit ! Crush your opponent and win The game!" by chessmastervijay it somehow felt familiar to me.
That seemed kind of silly. After all, there are over 3,900 posts on this blog, and over 81,000 games in The Database. Familiar?
The names of the players were not given in the video, so that did not provide any clue.
I could have emailed chessmastervijay and asked, but I didn't want to bother him unless it was completely necessary.
After some digging I turned up the computer vs computer game Stockfish - Cramlingbot (1-0, 19), presented in the post "Jerome Gambit: Quick Checkmate", a couple of months ago. (No wonder it seemed familiar.)
Like I said, pretty cool game.
Oh, yeah, there.
