1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ -- In UnorthodoxChessOpenings@y..., "richardfkennedy"
Actually, I am researching the Jerome, especially its early years, which go back to the 1870s and Alonzo Wheeler Jerome. (Some of what I have discovered is at www.chesshistory.com.) I would be interested in anyone's experiences or games with the line.
Many thanks!

Subject: Re: Jerome Gambit
Greetings from Hawaii, Richard F. Kennedy.
You are a new member who just joined our Unorthodox Chess Openings Newsgroups recently. I do welcome you as a new member.
I will post 15 Jerome Gambit Games (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+) in the files section.
I have played the Jerome Gambit before in blitz games and have analyzed this gambit. Currently I do not believe that this gambit is sound.
It seems that once white trades queens he is lost in the endgame. White has to avoid trading queens.
I recently did some further analysis of the Jerome Gambit and came to the same conclusion.
If you do find some good lines for white, I wlll be first to congratulate you.
Best Regards
Clyde Nakamura
