"Italian Game" Tournament, Round 2, Chess.com

  •                          

The second round of the "Italian Game" tournament at Chess.com (see "Jerome Gambit: The Battles Continue") has started, and I am matched against Seal Island Puffin, aansmar, and poorplayer63.

I have a Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game going against Seal Island Puffin and aansmar. The first game should be especially interesting, as my opponent is rated 350 points higher than me.

Statisically, the only player I should be playing the Jerome against is poorplayer63, who is rated 127 points below me. We are playing a Philidor Defense.

We shall see how things turn out - and I will publish both games.
