Jerome Gambit: Atrocious or Merely Terrifying

 


Martin V has posted a collection of  short YouTube videos, some with a chess theme mostly focused on presenting and naming openings.

There is "Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny at Chess", although more relevant to this blog is the implication that the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) is not so much atrocious - "Most ATROCIOUS Chess Gambits - Mr Incredible becoming Uncanny" - as it is terrifying - "Mr Incredible Becoming Uncanny - Most Terrifying Chess Gambits" (i.e. the Jerome is mentioned in the latter video).

Of course, other openings show up in the videos, too. There is enough uncanny-ness to go around.

It is nice to receive recognition, even if it is with a smile.
