My latest Google Alert sent me to the short video "Win In 9 Moves: Jerome Gambit!" by @ChessHomieOfficial.
It has to be seen to be believed.
Or, more accurately, heard.
The commentator yells, excitedly, the supposed moves of the Jerome Gambit, as they appear (allegedly) on a very strange chessboard (both ranks and files are lettered, neither numbered), with pieces set up, er, creatively - Is that Black with 9 pawns? Does he have 2 Kings? Is Black attacking in the Jerome? Does White have tripled pawns on the a-file (indicating at least 3 captures, but Black isn't missing that many)?
Checking out other videos by the same creator, I have to consider them more performance art than actual chess presentations.
Still, they bring a smile.
