Jerome Gambit: An Acceptable Result

 


It is a bit early to be certain, but it looks like the fifth and final round of the "Giuoco Piano Game" tournament at Chess.com will see DouglasEngle taking first place, ahead of auswebby - followed by either xyz7 or me (perrypawnpusher), depending upon the the outcome of xyz7's final game.

Finishing in fourth place, out of 100 players, and with a record of  21 - 5 with the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) is an acceptable result for me.

Coming up is the "Italian Tournament 2023" at Chess.com, which I have also joined. To date, only about half of the intended 64 players have signed up, so I have a bit of a wait ahead of me.
