If you came upon a YouTube site with the header "Subscribe if you laugh" and you noted that the host, whose handle is SkillerEP, further referenced "Canadian Chess Comedy" - you would know that you had arrived at a place of chess creativity & humor.
You would hardly be surprised to find a short video titled "Why the Jerome Gambit Works", would you?
(I have spent over two decades years trying to answer that Why question.)
Still, it makes you want to click on the link, doesn't it? And on the links of some of his other 204 videos, as well. You should. Go ahead.
When it comes to the Jerome Gambit, it must also be mentioned that SkillerEP (a significantly stronger player than I am) has 367 games in The Database.
SkillerEP's commentary on his blitz game - "Jerome Pioneer vs Angered Toddler" - is entertaining, insightful and well worth listening to.
Chess. Psychology. Decimation.
Jerome Gambit.
