Jerome Gambit: In the Comments


Yury V. Bukayev, chessfriend and regular contributor to this blog, pointed out that the YouTube video by Canadian Grandmaster Aman Hambleton on the Evans Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4),  "Use THIS Gambit to Surprise Low Elo Players! | Slowbrah Ep. 10", has a number of viewer comments referencing the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+).

Grandmaster Hambleton has a series of educational videos (the above one is episode #10) on YouTube, and he takes time (i.e. Slowbrah) to effectively explain what is going on in the games he plays, as they unfold. They are well worth a look.

By the way, Grandmaster Hambleton is no stranger to the Jerome Gambit, himself. A couple of relevant blog posts: "Grandmaster Hambleton in Nathan Phillips Square" and the much earlier "Jerome Gambit: All In Good Fun"
