Finishing 10 - 0 in Round One (not as impressive as it looks, but including three Jerome Gambits), Group Six, I will be joined by two other group members - likely mancroft and WidowKoenig - in the next round.
I was gifted by a win on time in the following game, a bit of an unfair result given the rashness of my play.

This being the Jerome Gambit, the position is about even.
