The Holy Gambit Grail is a challenge by @vampirechicken that I have decided to take on myself!! All credit to Jonathan Schrantz!!
Rules:...
1. Games must be played on stream
2. Games must be played in the pool (ie. not against viewers that agree to allow the gambit) against players reasonably close in rating
3. Games can only be submitted if you're the side that gambits material
4. Any time control acceptable
5. Anyone can complete this epic grail quest on any website but original credit for this brilliant idea belongs to Jonathan Schrantz
6. NO CHEATING There are 766 recognized gambits Streamed at Twitch.tv/HokieJoe17

Ah, yes, back to the Jerome Gambit.
This is a fun gambit, but not highly recommended if you're trying to gain rating
Fair enough, but he was totally unprepared for his own Jerome Gambit experience.
HokieJoe17 - JVenglarcik
5 0 blitz, YouTube, 2023
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Kf6 7.Qf5+
Black resignedAnd that was that.
HokieJoe17 was quite pleased - elated- at the quick win. Ten seconds off his clock.
He spent some time analyzing the game, convincing himself, that the Jerome Gambit, of course, "It's the worst gambit".
But, it was too late - he had already won.
Readers should visit HokieJoe17's site, and enjoy his videos. There is a whole lot of entertainment - and education - contained.
