RedHotPawn Jerome Gambit Tournament (Round 1)

While wandering around the RedHotPawn.com website I ran into a couple of Jerome Gambit thematic tournaments from 2013. Since it has been a while since this blog covered a thematic, I thought it would be nice to present all the games. 

Here is the first round of one of the tournaments (won by buddhaboy),  starting from the Jerome Gambit position:
