JeromeGambit: What If?

 


The recent YouTube video by Nenthop asked the question Can Hikaru defend Magnus Jerome Gambit Edition #chess #gothamchess #chesscom #chessgame

Not that this game would ever be played, but the match-up led to an 85-move game, and...

Is Hikaru Nakamura's experience with the Jerome Gambit (check out the posts with Search This Blog) built into the Hikaru bot?

Does the 300 point advantage that the Magnus bot has give the defender an edge?

Yes - defender. You might think that "Can Hikaru defend Magnus" means that the Magnus bot was playing the Jerome Gambit, but the game shows the Hikaru bot playing White in the Jerome.

Should it have been "defeat" rather than "defend"?
