A quote from the Internet, rec.games.chess.misc, from 1999:
[on the topic "Very daring line of the Latvian... The Corkscrew Countergambit"]
An opening or a variation which has a name is one which is recognized as good or having some merit to be worthy of attention. Even the Jerome Gambit, which is probably the worst recognized gambit in all of chess, does offer some reasons for analysis. However, this sequence of moves you give here is simply a blunder with no redeaming social value. Sam Sloan
