I just heard from Pete Banks ("blackburne" online), early and longtime contributor to this blog and early member of the Jerome Gambit Gemeinde (modern).
He pointed out the video "Hikaru Is CRAZY! Sacs 2 Pieces In First 5 Moves & Annihilates 2600+ GM!" covering the game GM Nakamura - GM Kollars 3 0 blitz, Chess.com, 2020 (1-0, 28).
Previously, we have seen a wordless presentation of that game (see "Once Again: "Grandmasters Don't Play the Jerome Gambit" Blah, Blah, Blah!") but the video Pete mentions, by Square One Chess has excited narration that brings the game further to life.
Well worth checking out.
By the way, longtime readers of this blog are well aware of Pete, and might well remember
- when International Master Gary Lane assessed the game Banks - Karmark, internet, 2007
- when he was mentioned in John Elburg's review of Gary Lane's The greatest ever chess tricks and traps (see "The extraordinary and forgotten Jerome Gambit")
- see "The Pete Banks Annotated Collection"
