Jerome Gambit: Comparing Comparisons

 

Just wondering...

Looking at the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5  2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) and comparing it to the Abrahams Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Bxf7+), with the help of The Database, I note, currently, 53,272 games with the former, with White scoring 53%; and 20,477 games with the latter with White scoring 52%. 

About  year ago, in "Jerome Gambit: Comparable" I noted

That compares with 39,663 games in The Database with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+, scoring 52%.

The Abrahams Jerome Gambit. It appears in 19,021 games in The Database, with White scoring 51%. 

Even allowing for the difficulties of statistics in general, those numbers are remarkably consistent.

Hmmmm.....

Shrug.

(I guess that and a sawbuck will get you a coffee at Starbucks.)
