Three years ago (see "Jerome Gambit: Oops, He Did It Again?!" and "Jerome Gambit: Which Tier? Unbreakable?") I wrote
in a light-hearted YouTube video, GM Hikaru Nakamura and IM Levy Rozman assessed different chess openings and assigned them to different levels in a tier.
Oh, and GM Nakamura, in assembling an "Intermediate Opening Tier List", bypassed "Legendary", "Solid", "Legit", and "Maybe Not", to place the Jerome Gambit in "Tricks Only" - above "Garbage" because, as he said, "I don't think it loses by force".
Recently the two starred in another, similar, updated video, "The Chess GAMBITS Tier List ft. Hikaru Nakamura", although the Tier List was different:
"Unstoppable", "Very Powerful", "Tons of Tactics", "Easy to Equalize", "One Trick", "Total Trash"
I wish I could tell you that the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) stayed at "One Trick", and did not slide back into "Total Trash" - but I can't.
Of the 32 chess openings that they discussed, the Jerome was not one of them.
As NighthawkGamer200 said in the "Comments",
Bro missed Jerome gambit
