Jerome Gambit: Games Update

 



As I mentioned in the post, Jerome Gambit: Familiar

I am playing in Chess.com's second "Italian opning [sic] rapid players". In the first round, Group 1, I have managed to play only one Jerome Gambit game, but it was a successful one.

Nonetheless, I am not likely to finish higher than 4th place in my group, and only the top finisher - most likely Tadeasek2008 - will advance to the second round. 

In the meantime, from Abrahams Jerome Gambit: Exploring

I have joined the new BISHOP'S OPENING CUP 2025 at Chess.com - 250 players, time control 10 days per move (!).

My hope is to play a number of Abrahams Jerome Gambits, 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Bxf7+, a line that I have not tried before, but is worth exploring.

Starting off with two wins in the first round and two wins in the second round, none of them an Abrahams, I am going to have to wait until the final 9 games of the second round are completed, before I can move on to Round Three.
