I have started my games in the first round of a 16-player (4 groups of 4) "Play the Italian Game III" tournament at Chess.com.
Since the starting moves are 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 it is possible for my opponents to deny me the chance to play a Jerome Gambit by avoiding playing 3...Bc5. So far, all three have done so.
Alas, even though I have replied 3...Bc5 in my games, no one has played 4.Bxf7+ against me, either.
I will have to make do with a Monck Gambit, for now.
