From time to time on this blog, I have looked for possible fore-runners to the Jerome Gambit (inspirations to Alonzo Wheeler Jerome from similar lines of play), including the Sarratt or Vitzthum Attack. (For examples, see "A Bridge To... Somewhere?", "Another Distant Relative?", "The Sarratt Attack", "Another look at the Sarratt Attack" and "Another Example of the Vitzthum Attack").

KaspaChess has a recent educational and entertaining YouTube video "WHY's This Sarrat Opening Variation So Underrated?" that is worth checking out.
