In case you missed a couple of earlier posts referring to the Jerome Gambit game, Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura - Grandmaster Dmitrij Kollars, you can catch the recent YouTube video by Square One Chess, titled "Hikaru Is CRAZYY! Sacs 2 Pieces In First 5 Moves & Annihilates 2600+ GM!"

How's this for an introduction?

Today's game is one of the most brutal sacrificial trollings of an elite grandmaster that you're ever likely to witness. I don't even remember seeing Magnus Carlsen do anything quite as extreme so early in the opening as what you're about to see from the great Hikaru Nakumura, who in a shocking resurrection of a horrendous 150 year-old gambit sacrifices not one but two entire pieces by move five in a brash and irresponsible attack that should have never worked. So, I don't know what else to tell you. This game is going to unscrew your head and then you might know what's coming next. I don't even want to say it. Once you regain your composure, though, you might just be inspired to try this crazy opening against your own opponents as it does have the potential to be quite venemous as you are about to see...

"Brash and irresponsible." I like that. So true. 

Enjoy.
