Jerome Gambit: Long And Winding Road

 


I just finished watching a YouTube video, "[Disaster] Italia Game: Jerome Gambit" which features a computer vs computer game that was an unusual 153 move draw.

If computer programs had feelings, it is likely that Black in the game was quite frustrated that the extra piece that it had was of little use.

By the way, 153 moves is not the longest Jerome Gambit that I have in The Database - it is only 4th longest, behind latemate - fadaro, 5 0 blitz, FICS, 2015 (1-0, 157); stockfish_20060616x64_modern - fruit_2.1, 2020 (1-0, 158); and the all-time champion Petasluk - bozidaranas, 5 2 blitz, FICS, 2022 (1/2-1/2, 239).
