My "Google Alerts" found a 2026 chess video by young Danil Li (one his many videos) that proclaimed The Jerome Gambit is one of the wildest openings in chess
Agreed.
In the following bullet game, Danil finishes his opponent quickly:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6
7.Qf5+ Kd6
This position is at least as old as Tonetti - Ruggieri, Rome, 1863 (1-0, 23)
8.f4
Alonzo Wheeler Jerome started 10 of his games this way.
8...g6
Kicking the White Queen.
If I were to say that I won from this position in games lasting 17 and 38 moves, and drew one game in 59 - I would also have to point out that in this game Danil concludes his contest quicker.
9.Qxe5+ Kc6 10.Qd5+ Kb6 11.d4
11...Bb4+ 12.c3 Ba5
A slip. The Bishop needed to go to f8.
13.b4 Qf6 14.Qxa5+ Kc6 15.Qc5 checkmate
Well done!
