It is always good, despite my enthusiasm for the Jerome Gambit, to occasionally seek out objective evaluations. What, exactly, is its place in the world?
As one example, Michael Busse, in his German language Der Schach-Booster (Humbold, 2024) has a chart presenting an "Overview of Gambits".
He lists as "real openings": Queen's Gambit, Benko Gambit, Evans Gambit, Marshall Gambit (in Spanish game).
He gives as "playable": Albin Counter Gambit, Budapest Gambit, Cochrane Gambit, Falkbeer Counter Gambit, Morra Gambit
He suggests as a "surprise weapon": King's Gambit, Portugese Gambit, Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, Blumenfeld Gambit, Nordic Gambit
He identifies as "untrustworthy": Englund Gambit, Halloween Gambit, Jerome Gambit, Stafford Gambit
Well, at least the Jerome is among fun company.
