Jerome Gambit: Time



Longtime Readers of this blog may remember the post from years back, "If You Can't Bash Them With the Jerome Gambit, Maybe You Can Bore Them to Tears".

I suspect the same thing may have happened in a recent game of mine.

Or it might be another case of the real world intervening and distracting my opponent.
