The latest Jerome Gambit video that I have found on YouTube is by Chess Master ("I upload chess games that I played and show interesting moves") and is titled "How to counter jerome gambit".
Such videos are important for a number of reasons, not the least of which is to remind us that we play the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) for fun and exploration - the opening is not in the repertoire of the current (or past) World Champion.
Also, since our opponents might be watching the same video, it is worth knowing a little bit about what he or she is preparing.
Here is the line given in the short video, along with some suggested alternative moves, to get Readers started.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ (6.d4) 6...Ke6 7.Qf5+ (7.Qh3+) 7...Kd6 8.f4 (8.Nc3) 8...Kc6 9.Qxe5 (9.fxe5) 9...Nf6 10.d4 (10.d3) 10...d6 11.d5+ (11.Qg5) 11...Kb6
12.Qc3 a5 13.Qb3+ (13.Be3) 13...Ka7 14.Be3 Nxe4 15.Nxe4 Re8 16.Qd3 Bf5 17.Bd2 Nxe4 15.Na3 (15.Nd2) 15...Qh4+ 16.g3 Qh5 17.Bxc5+ (17.O-O) 17...Nxc5 18.Nb5+ (18.Qc4) 18...Kb8 19.Qc4 Re8+ 20.Kd2 Qf3 21.Rhe1 Re4 22.Qc3 (22.Qf1) 22...Qf2+ 23.Kd1 Bg4+
By the way, for an unorthodox opening that is in the repertoire of the top chess player in the world, perhaps also for fun and exploration, check out the video
with the black pieces in a 3-minute game, and defeats Vladimir Kramnik in 31 moves.
