Jerome Gambit: Search and Find



I am always on the lookout for Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) videos, usually on YouTube.com

The latest is "italian game jerome gambit (as black).#chessgame #chessvideoplus #checkmate #playchess #chessboard" presented by @ChessNovice who has a website with a collection of chess videos.

The game is a bit odd, with White looking a bit like someone who absent-mindedly steps into traffic... There is no notification as to who won, although the final diagram surely favors Black.

Still, wins or losses, it is always educational to play over games and quiz yourself, What would I do here?, Why did he do that there?, What would be a good plan?, etc.
