In doing an online search for the Jerome Gambit, I ran across the Brisbane Courier, whose August 9, 1930, p.20, "Chess" column, has the memorable Blackburne game in which he applies a thrashing to the Jerome, but, according to the Courier, it was J.H.B. who was playing White. (Not so!)
Holiday celebration disclaimer...
Please accept with no obligation, implied
or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially
responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter
solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the
religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with
respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or
their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish
you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated
recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2013, but not
without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose
contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that
America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in
the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race,
creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, gender or sexual preference of the
wishee.
