Jerome Gambit: Tournaments Update Update

 

In "Tournaments Update" I reported

My play in the second Chess.com's "Italian opning rapid players" tournment has come to the end.

Although the top-rated player, I will finish fourth (not all the other players' games are completed) with a score of 12 - 4 - 6. 

Tadeasek200 is running away from the field with a score of 19 - 0 - 1, with two games left to complete.

In fact, Tadeasek200 finished in first place in "Italian opning rapid players", scoring 20 - 1 - 1. The one loss was on time. I knicked him for his one draw.

Continuing from "Tournaments Update"

I managed to play 2 Jerome Gambits - wins against BIJAN_H_F and diegorocha82 - and 2 Noa gambits - draws against Tadeasek200 and Serega40.

Updating other tournament news

In the meantime, I have 2 games to complete in the Chess.com "Not only the Italians plays the Italian game" - both against JAMARTINO, which will decide second place.

In Round One of  "Not only the Italians plays the Italian game", Group 15, I played a Semi-Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit, a Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit, and a Noa Gambit.

I did well enough to move on to Round Two, Group 6, where I scored 6 - 0 - 0, managing a Semi-Italian Four Knights Jerome Gambit and a Noa Gambit; placing me in position to move on to Round Three.

Also, I have scored 2 - 0 - 0 in the third round of the Chess.com

"BISHOP'S OPENING CUP 2025". As I mentioned in "Jerome Gambit: Games Update"

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.

So far, no luck in being able to play an Abrahams Jerome. There are 4 games left in the third round of "BISHOP'S OPENING CUP 2025" so I soon shall have some more chances.
