Jerome Gambit: Razerchess

 


I recently caught a short TikTok video on the Jerome Gambit by Razerchess with a fun Jerome Gambit line (the assessments are by Razerchess):

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6?! 

7.f4 Nc6??

(Also watch out for this brilliant move 7...Qf6!! 8.fxe5?! Qf2+ 9.Kd1 Qxg2?!

8.Qxc5 Qe7?? 9.Qd5+ Kf6 10.Qf5 checkmate


I was surprised to find only 4 games in The Database with this line of play. The earliest was blackburne - karmark, Jerome Gambit thematic tournament, ChessWorld.net, 2007. The most recent was oscroos - Sissa85, 2 1 bullet, lichess.org, 2022.

Be sure to check out Razerchess' other videos as well.
