Jerome Gambit: Drag the King

 



An Instagram video on the Jerome Gambit - or, at least the first dozen moves of a line - posted by "the_reject_club", has commentary that parallels the theme of this blog, and those who play the gambit

This is the Jerome Gambit — a 150 year old Italian Game trap that literally nobody at your rating knows how to handle. The king gets dragged out into the open and it's just pure chaos from there.

I can't stop playing this in blitz. It's too fun. The opponents always think they're winning until they're suddenly not.
