Jerome Gambit: Choosing the Right...

 



Never let it be said that I did not go to the corners of the Internet to find ways to help Readers gain an advantage in their chess games - or at least have enjoyment along the way.

Now, going beyond the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) let me direct you to -

The main page - which also links to a blog, and academy - is International Master Alberto Chueca's, author of The Chueca-Vidyarthi Chess Opening. Play 1.Nc3!.

Readers may know 1.Nc3 as the Van Geet or Dunst opening, or have on their shelves Knight on the Left: 1.Nc3 by Harald Keilhack

Checking at 439 pages, IM Chueca's book is sure to add to the understanding of the opening. It also contains exercises to practice middlegames and endgames - well worth noting.
