No surprise, he shares
I do see it a lot in blitz...
I don't think this is sound, guys...
Fair enough.
Most people who play the Jerome Gambit already know that it is "unsound" as well as "refuted". They are counting upon the audacity of the attack - which often comes as a surprise to their opponents - and their own familiarity with the opening's tactics and overall strategy, all of which can give the first player an advantage in blitz or bullet play.
I think it is important to view the video, as it will prepare you for what you might face in your next Jerome Gambit game. Forewarned is forearmed.
