Jerome Gambit: Brilliant!



I was drawn to the YouTube video by ChessFam because of its title - "Brilliant Jerome Gambit Refutation!

How could I not be?

The video shows a game between two players, and, indeed, it features brilliant attacking play by Black.

That is to say, Black plays Henry Joseph Blackburne's defense and counter-attack, repeats his famous game against an Amateur, and grabs the full point in 14 moves!

To this Defender, I say: Keep playing that line!

To this Attacker, I say: Find a way (or several ways) to avoid such misfortune (You could start by perusing this blog. Make use of the "Search This Blog" feature on the right side.)
