It is quite possible to look at the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) for the first time and tell yourself "This is so far out, it must be fiction!"
About a year ago, thanks to information provided by Yury V. Bukayev, we actually looked at the intersection of the Jerome Gambit and fiction, in considering Tommaso Castellani's Italian language novel, Il professor Z e il segreto del triangolo, Un giallo matematico, (Professor Z and the secret of the triangle, a mathmatical mystery), published by Edizioni Dedalo, 2022 .
In the book, young Ivano shares his interest in the JeromeGambit with a friend. See The Jerome Gambit and the Secret of the Triangle and Jerome Gambit, Triangle, Infinity, Hypercube.
As an exciting large success, out of more than 300 books considered in the Premio Nazionale di Divulgazione Scientifica 2022 competition of science books for younger people, 50 titles made it to the preliminary stage, and Tommaso Castellani's Professor Z and the secret of the triangle was one of them.
Congratulazioni!
