Jerome Gambit: Gemini's Turn

                                                         


I have been fascinated by Artificial Intelligence and the Jerome Gambit:  see

"ChatGPT Strikes Again!"

Today, I checked with Google's Gemini: 

Q: Tell me about the chess opening the Jerome Gambit

A: The Jerome Gambit is one of the most aggressive, unsound, and purely psychological openings in chess. It is a "hope chess" opening where White sacrifices two minor pieces (a Bishop and a Knight) just to drag the Black King into the open and hunt for a checkmate.

The Moves

The Jerome Gambit arises from the Giuoco Piano (Italian Game).

1.e4 e5

2.Nf3 Nc6

3.Bc4 Bc5

4. Bxf7+? (The starting shot)

I think Gemini has the right - almost human - perspective.
