Jerome Gambit: Dodgy Gambit Opening



If you visit National Master Deniz Tasdelen's very enjoyable chessdoctrine.com site, in particular the information on the Jerome Gambit (1.e4e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+), you will see an intelligent look at this opening - and many others - starting with the down-to-earth assessment  

The Jerome Gambit is a dodgy gambit opening

That's a fair assessment.

The Jerome Gambit is also a fun opening for club players to use to surprise their opponents and open up tactical opportunities.

Checking The Database, I find my own handle, perrypawnpusher, in 666 games, scoring 81%.

That pales in comparison to the successes of Bill Wall, who shows up in 1,149 games and scores 94%.

Of course, Your mileage may vary, but I have provided 4,129 posts on this blog, to help you toward success.
