The Jerome Gambit pops up in the oddest places...



I was doing a Google Books search for Jerome Gambit references, and came across the following one from a review in The British Chess Magazine, Volume 108, 1988




Lettisches Gambit by Dr. L. Orban, Verlag Das Schach Archiv, Hamburg x: 1987 L. 90pp. 7.12 overseas 7.32 US $13.50

100 games with light notes on 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f5. Also four - numbered five - supplementary games, though one of these illogically opens 2.Bc4 f5 and another one: 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Bc5 4 Bxf7+ - The Jerome Gambit! Many CC games of course.
