Ms. Jerome Gambit Killer

As given in an earlier blog post (see "Les Femmes des Echecs... & the Jerome Gambit") I lost my first Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) in a 3 0 game at FICS:  perrypawnpusher - MsD, blitz, FICS, 2009.

The other day I was wondering if MsD had played against other Jerome Gambits and other Jerome-ish openings, so I checked out the updated New Year's Database.  I was quite impressed by what I found: in 35 games, she had accumulated 33 wins and 2 losses, scoring 96%!

Here is one example.
