Etude du Jérome Gambit



The YouTube video "Etude du Jérome Gambit" (by Echecs I Massacrealouverture) is a pleasant, French language exploration of the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+).

I could follow some of the presentation (Je suis désolé, Mlle. Lakis, je parle le français comme une vache espagnole) and occasionally referred some of my questions to Google Translate.

While the presenter could not recommend the Jerome Gambit as a main opening for your repertoire, he did think that it might fit as a secondary opening - being very interesting, with many traps for an opponent, even if reserved for quick games or lower rated players.

Check it out.
