Jerome Gambit: And Then There Were Four


The fifth and final round of the "Giuoco Piano Game" tournament at Chess.com - see "Jerome Gambit: Rescued?" for an earlier reference - has started, and there are four players left: myself (perrypawnpusher), auswebby, DouglasEngle, and xyz7.

I am playing the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) in my games with White, as I have throughout the tournament.

In the past, asuswebby had defeated my Jerome twice (see "Toward Disaster" and "Jerome Gambit: What Can We Learn? (Part 1)") so I am hoping to show that third time's the charm.

As always, I wish good chess to my opponents.
