Take That!

What's with all the whining these days about the Jerome Gambit being a "refuted opening"?

The following game is White's first attempt at the line, at least as far as The Database can determine.

Yet he wraps up a checkmate against an opponent rated over 150 points higher, in under 10 moves.

Can your chess opening do that ??
