Who is the strongest player to use the Jerome Gambit regularly?
If we define "regularly" as having played 10 games or more, and if we exclude computer programs - Stockfish, Lc0, Shredder, Yace Paderborn, Houdini, Fritz, Hiarcs, and Crafty - we have to acknowledge Grandmasters Hikaru Nakamura and Aman Hambleton.
There is also Grandmaster Andrew Tang, playing as penguinGIM1, who has scored 14-2.
Many of their games can be seen as casual, sometimes played against those who visit their chess sites, it is important to realize that they could have chosen any number of openings, but decided, for whatever reason (amusement comes to mind), to essay Alonzo Wheeler Jerome's creation.
