Jerome Gambit: Puzzles



If you enjoy improving your tactical skills by completing chess puzzles, lichess.org has a large collection of them (see "Puzzles by openings") including 116 Italian Game: Jerome Gambit puzzles, based on games played at that website.

I was astonished to see that 552,511 games starting with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ have been played at lichess. (White scores 49.5%) That is over 20 times the number of like games that I have in The Database.

Alas, there does not seem to be any easy way to download that half-million-game collection...
