Is the Non-Bxf7 Jerome Bukayev Gambit
More Useful Than the Standard Jerome Gambit? (Part 1)
(by Yury V. Bukayev)
Dear readers, you have seen the series of my analytical chess investigations ' Was H.Nakamura Right? Is JG ‘Unbreakable’, Is EG ‘Legendary’ For Beginners’ Games? ', it has four published parts today. You can see that my invented Jerome gambit variations in these parts can work against beginners well, so the standard system of JG (4.Bxf7+) is really 'unbreakable' against beginners. But these variations are dangerous for White mostly, if White's opponent plays stronger. In other words, White chooses one of these variations with an additional risk for himself, when he plays against a more strong player than a beginner.
Seven years ago Rick Kennedy's blog published (March 27, 2017) my following words:
" Here is my new gambit. It is very risky, like the Jerome Gambit. It is a non-Bxf7 relative of the JG. Here it is. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nge7 4.0-0 Nd4 5.Nxe5? Nxb5 6.Nxf7! Kxf7 7.Qh5+ with the idea Qxb5. I suggest to play it to everyone who likes the Jerome Gambit. "
The following two questions arise now. Here is the first one: is this Bukayev gambit 'unbreakable' against beginners? And here is the second one: if no, does it have any large advantage when we compare it with 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ ?
Fortunately, we can find answers. Thus, we can see that after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nge7 4.0-0 Nd4 5.Nxe5 Nxb5 6.Nxf7 Kxf7 7.Qh5+ a very large part of beginners will play 7...Kg8!?. After 8.Qxb5! a very large part of beginners will want to develop minor pieces. The 1st part of them will play 8...Nc6??. The 2nd part of them will play 8...Ng6??. The 3rd part of them will see the checkmate 9.Qd5# after their silent touch to his Knight on e7, so White will require Black's Knight move here and will checkmate him then. Let's see also that some part of beginners will play 7...Ng6 8.f4!? Kg8?? (the threat 9.f5, 10.fxg6+ can be seen by each beginner), so White will checkmate with 9.Qd5# too. Nevertheless, it isn't enough for the high appraisal 'unbreakable against beginners', it is the first answer.
We can see the following clear advantage of this Bukayev gambit in that comparison. If Black plays stronger, then White captures Black's Knight on b5, and the game goes on, like in main lines of the standard Jerome gambit. In other words, White has no additional risk for himself, because his main - strongest - line creates these traps, in contrast to 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ . It's one of large advantages of this gambit. It is the second answer.
