Jerome Gambit: Blinded by the Light (Part 2)

 

[continued from the previous post]

"Giuoco Piano Game" tournament, Chess.com, 2022

To take or not to take, that is the question...

9.Kxf2 

Yury V. Bukayev has eplored both capturing the piece and the subtle declination 9.Ke2!?, which is still unplayed - but maybe not for much longer. The chess "coach" at Chess.com, reviewing my game after it had been completed, called it the best move and "very precise!"

9...d6 

This solid move is an improvement over 9...Ng4+ in perrypawnpusher - Ryszak, "Giuoco Piano Game" tournament, Chess.com, 2022 (1-0, 17).

10.d4 

The "coach" would have preferred 10.Rf1, starting to castle-by-hand.

10...Qf8+ 11.Ke1 Nd7 

This unbalanced position is assessed by Stockfish 15 (32 ply) as slightly better for Black. White has the better pawn center. Black has an extra piece for White's extra pawn. Neither King is particularly safe.

It is interesting that the "coach" gives the Knight retreat to d7 (as opposed to c6) a "??". It seems concerned about congestion of a sort that sometimes occurs in the Jerome Gambit: the Knight blocks the Bishop which hems in the Rook 

12.Bg5+ 

Played with the idea of meeting 12...Ngf6 with 13.e5. 

Stronger - but not what I had considered at this point while I was playing - was 12.Rf1. Thank you, Stockfish.

12...Ke8 

After the game was over, I was shocked to see that the computer preferred 12...Kf7, putting Black's King in front of his Queen. 

Indeed, White would then have 13.Rf1+ but the dangers soon fizzle out, e.g. 13...Ngf6 14.Qb3+ Ke8 15.Nc3 h6 16.Bxf6 Nxf6 17.Kd2 Qg8 18.Qb5+ Kd8 19.e5 dxe5 20.dxe5 Nd7 21. Rae1 Qe6. Black's King is not totally safe, but he has extra material to make him feel better about that.

13.Qxc7 

When in doubt, grab material might be good advice for bullet chess, but this move looks somewhat distracted here.

13...Ngf6 14.Rf1 Qe7 15.Nc3 Rf8 

The pinned Knight at f6 gets more support. To be considered was breaking the pin with 15...h6 16.Bh4 g5.

16.Kd2 

Unpinning the e-pawn. However, the "coach" would have none of that, giving the move a "??" and suggesting that 16.Rf2 is best, followed by 16...Kf7 17.e5 dxe5 18.Nd5 e6 19.Nxf6 Kg6 20.Nxd7 Qxd7 21.Qxd7 Bxd7 22.Be3 with a slight advantage to White. Thanks, coach.

16...Kf7 

Intensifying the pin on the Knight and giving White the advantage.

17.Rae1 Kg8 

A lot has changed.

Even though Black has succeeded in castling-by-hand - while my King remains a bit exposed - his Knight at f6 is doomed.

At the time I figured that White was at least even, but I was surprised that afterwards Stockfish 15 assessed White to be about a Rook better, despite the fact that Black still has the material advantage of a piece for two pawns.

Jerome Gambit: Blinded by the Light (Part 1)

I recently completed a Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) win and submitted the game to analysis by Stockfish 15. The results were confusing. 

Was this another case of the computer not "understanding" the opening - as I have complained about before?

Or was I just stumbling along in the dark, only to be blinded by the light that the silicon assistant provided, post mortem?

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+

A check with The Database shows that I have played 377 games with this position, scoring 82%. 

Am I getting better? A quick check seems to show the opposite:

date range        scoring %

2004-2005       100%

2006-2010       86%

2011-2015       76%

2016-2020       90%

2021-2023       75%

Oh, well...

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 

7.Qh3+

I have played this move once before, as chronicled in "Jerome Gambit: Wandering Away (Part 1) and  (Part 2)".

[I] wandered away from recommended play and stumbled into a wilderness of weirdness.

I won, but I am not sure that I want to repeat the adventure.

Okay, so recently I was willing to repeat the adventure.

The earliest game in The Database with this move is Idealist - Bhima, 3 0 blitz, FICS, 2000 (0-1, 20).

63 players have played 7.Qh3+ (with White scoring 29%), the most significant contribution to the move has come from analyses and a game by Yury V. Bukayev, published on this blog

"JG: The New in Its Opening Theory, in Its " Psychology (Parts 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, & 15)  "

"Jerome Gambit: Analysis Leads the Way (Parts 1 & 2)"  

7...Ke7 8.Qc3 

Yury V. Bukayev 's novelty is his recommendation in his analyses.

joca552000 at lichess.org has subsequently adopted the move in a half dozen of his games, with mixed results.

8...Bxf2+

Black decides to return a piece in the most disruptive fashion. White isn't the only one who can sacrifice!

Ryszak played this move against me in 2022: perrypawnpusher - Ryszak, "Giuoco Piano Game" tournament, Chess.com, 2022 (1-0, 17). It was an interesting struggle - and now this one was, as well.

[to be continued]

Jerome Gambit: To the Rescue?

I am still battling in the 4th round of the 2022-2023 "Giuoco Piano Game" tournament at Chess.com. 

In the past, wins as Black were a lot of help, but I have drawn several games this time around.

I will need wins in my remaining two very interesting Jerome Gambits - and a bit of good fortune in terms of tie breaks - in order to advance to the next round, but I feel confident that my favorite opening will come through.

Of course the games will be shared as soon as they are finished.

Wandered Away...

 

I seem to have wandered away from the Land of the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) the last couple of posts...

Bill Wall - a serious Jerome Gambit devotee - just sent me a collection of 32 of his games with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Qf6?!.

The following game should finish the discussion.

A Bit More Chess History

A little bit of chess history relating to the previous post, before returning to the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) - after all, if we are going to look at 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Qf6, we might as well look at 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Qf6, known as Greco's Defense or the McConnell Defense.

From Wikipedia

Gioachino Greco (c. 1600 – c. 1634), surnamed Cusentino and more frequently il Calabrese, was an Italian chess player and writer. He recorded some of the earliest chess games known in their entirety. His games, which never indicated players, were quite possibly constructs, but served as examples of brilliant combinations.

Greco was very likely the strongest player of his time, having played (and defeated) the best players of Rome, Paris, London, and Madrid. Greco's writing was in the form of manuscripts for his patrons, in which he outlined the rules of chess, gave playing advice, and presented instructive games. These manuscripts were later published to a wide audience and became massively influential after his death.

Italy, 1620

The American Paul Morphy was not patient with this style of defending:

Still, there are those today, for good or ill, surprise or annoyance, still give the defense a whirl

Kind of makes the Jerome Gambit look almost normal, doesn't it?

 

The Mingrelia Defence: The Jerome Gambit Contravened

I was sorting games to add to The Database when I ran across a surprising number - anything more than 1 or 2 would have surprised me - of games that started 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Qf6.

Wow, I thought to myself, Even if this idea is rather primative, what a very effective way to avoid the Jerome Gambit!*

How odd to discover that there are 316,288 games at lichess.org which start this way. (For the record, there are only 207,306 Jerome Gambits there with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+.) 

Researching a bit, I found the game 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Qf6 4.Nc3 a6 5.O-O Qg6 6.d4 exd4 7.Nxd4 d6 8.Nd5 Kd8 9.f3 Bh3 10.Nxc6+ bxc6 11.Nf4 Qf6 12.Nxh3 Black resigned. Not surprisingly, it was from George Koltanowski's blindfold exhibition (10 games) given in Edinburgh in 1937. An amateur tries to fool the blindfold player.

With a little more work I found on CHESS MARGINALIA, from Wilhelm Steinitz’ chess column in New York Daily Tribune, June 18, 1893: A. de Smitten – The Prince of Mingrelia, Russia 1893 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Qf6 4.Nc3 Nge7 5.d3 h6 6.Nb5 Kd8 7.Be3 a6 8.Nc3 g5 9.Qd2 Bg7 10.0-0-0 g4 11.Ng1 Nd4 12.Re1 b5 13.Bb3 Rf8 14.Nce2 Qb6 15.Bxd4 exd4 16.f4 a5 17.a4 bxa4 18.Bxa4 Rb8 19.b3 c5 20.Ng3 Ba6 21.Qf2 Qb4 22.e5 Nd5 23.Nh5 Nc3 24.Qh4+ Kc7 25.Nxg7 Nxa4 26.Ne2 Qa3+27.Kd2 Rxb3 28.Nc1 Rxd3+ 29.Nxd3 Qc3+ 30.Ke2 Qxc2+ 31.Kf1 Bxd3+ 32.Kg1 Be4 33.Qg3 Nc3 White Resigned

The Prince of Mingrelia? Fortunately, Sarah's Chess Journal had him covered.

I suspected that this was not the earliest game available, and soon ran across, from The Westminster Papers, June 1871: Joseph H. Blackburne - J.A. Manning, City of London Chess Club, Blindfold Exhibition, London, May 2, 1871, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Qf6 4.0—0 d6 5.Nc3 Be6 6.Nd5 Bxd5 7.exd5 Na5 8.d3 h6 9.Bd2 Nxc4 10.dxc4 Qd8 11.Re1 Be7 12.Bc3 Nf6 13.h3 0—0 14.Nh2 Qd7 15.Ng4 Qf5 16.Nxf6+ Bxf6 17.Qd3 Qg6 18.Qxg6 fxg6 19.Re2 g5 20.b4 Rad8 21.a4 e4 White wins.

Since 1871 pre-dated the "birth" of the Jerome Gambit  - Alonzo Wheeler Jerome published his analysis in the Dubuque Chess Journal of April, 1874 - I decided to stop my research..

Had I ever faced the Mingrelia Defence myself? I had to check...

Oh, dear, I had. It hadn't made the posts of this blog because it wasn't a Jerome Gambit.

perrypawnpusher - hgamez 

2 12 blitz, FICS, 2010

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Qf6

4.O-O Bc5

Now that Bxf7+ has been defended against, Black can continue with this move.

5.Nc3 Nge7 6.Nd5 Nxd5 7.exd5 Na5 

8.Nxe5

A cheap shot. Stockfish 15 recommends 8.d4!? maintaining White's advantage.

8...Qxe5

It was blitz. What can I say?

9.Re1 Bxf2+

To shake things up.

10.Kxf2 Nxc4 11.Rxe5+ Nxe5 12.Qe2 d6 13.d4 

13...Bg4 14.Qe4 f5 15.Qe1 O-O-O 16.dxe5 Rde8 17.e6 

17...c6 18.c4 c5 19.Bf4 Kc7  20.Qa5+ b6 21.Qxa7+ Kd8 22.Qd7 checkmate

Okay, so maybe Black should let go of 3...Qf6 and allow the Jerome Gambit, after all. 

Still, it was interesting to see that Grandmaster Timur Gareyev (2605) played and won with 3...Qf6 at the 10th Chennai Open International Grandmaster tournament in 2018... 

*- It hurts my head to report that lichess.org has 712 games with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Qf6 and then 4.Bxf7+ anyway.

Jerome Gambit: He Who Takes the Queen's Knight Pawn...

As a young chess player I remember being cautioned He who takes the Queen's Knight pawn sleeps in the gutter. It was a warning against using your Queen to grab a small amount of material at the risk of taking her out of play with poor results.

This notion came up last year in the blog post "Jerome Gambit: The 'Debate' Again" concerning the game Wall, Bill - Gilex, internet, 2022 (1-0, 21).

Playing blitz at lichess.org, tacticgod (with 165 games in The Database) has tackled the question in a number of games. 

tacticgod - Tosch2

4...Kxf7 5. Nxe5+ Nxe5 6. Qh5+ Ng6

7.Qxc5 d6 8.Qd5+ Be6 

Developing and protecting the King. Is it worth giving up the pawn? Stockfish 15 definitely thinks so.

However, this is a blitz game, and Black must find the right moves in order to keep his advantage. In the meantime, White would do well to activate pieces to help his Queen.

9.Qxb7 

Irving Chernev in the October, 1974 CHESS magazine wrote that, according to a Hungarian proverb, It is never safe to take the queen knight pawn with the queen - even when it is safe.

White has three pawns for his sacrificed piece.

Black is better developed, although his King is more exposed.

9...N8e7 

tacticgod has faced alternatives:

Black's strongest response to the pawn capture is the sharp 9...Qg5!?, allowing White to grab a Rook or check the King. It shows up only once in The Database 10.O-O (10.Qxa8 is met by 10...Qxg2 and Black is much better; 10.g3 is probably best) Bh3 (10...Nf4!? is stronger) 11.Qxc7+ N8e7 12.Qc4+ Kf8 13.g3 Qg4 14.f3 Qd7 15.Rf2 Rc8 16.Qd3 Nc6 17.Nc3 Nce5 18.Qe3 Nc4 19.Qd4 Nge5 20.d3 Nb6 21.f4 Ng4 22.Rf3 Qf7 23.Qxd6+ Kg8 24.f5 Qh5 25.Qe6+ Kf8 26.Qxc8+ Ke7 27.Qxh8 Ne5 28.Qxg7+ Kd6 29.Qf6+ Kd7 30.Rf4 Nf3+ 31.Kf2 Nxh2 32.Qg7+ Kc6 33.Qf6+ Kb7 34.Qe7+ Ka6 35.Rh4 Ng4+ 36.Ke1 Qxh4 37.gxh4 Bf1 38.Kxf1 Ne3+ 39.Ke2 Nbc4 40.Bxe3 Nxe3 41.Kxe3 Kb6 42.Nd5+ Kb5 43.b3 Kc6 44.a4 a5 45.Qc7 checkmate, PedrosF1 - CHESSGINT22, lichess.org, 2020.

10.O-O Ne5 

I think that the Knight would be more effective at f4. At e5, it encourages f2-f4-f5.

11.f4 Nd7 12.f5 

12...Nc5 

It is tempting to attack the intruding Queen while making an escape route for the attacked Bishop, but this idea falls immediately to 13.fxe6 check.

In this complicated position Black should have tried 12...Bc4 13.d3 a5!? because the Bishop would be safe, e.g. 14.dxc4 Nc5 15.Qb5 c6 and the Queen will not escape. Instead of grabbing a piece, White would need to open a line of retreat for his Queen with 14.e5!? (even game) although things can still be complicated  14...Bd5 15.e6+ Kg8 16.Qb5.

It is all a lot to work out in a blitz game. 

13.Qb5 Bd7 14. Qc4+ Ke8 

White's Queen has escaped the consequences of her greed - this time.

The face-off between Her Majesty and three enemy pieces is interesting.

15.b4 Na4 16.d3 a6 

It looks like Black plans to continue to harass with an upcoming 17...Bb5.

17.Qd4 Kf8 

This move does not protect the King, it puts him at great risk. Even though it is ugly, the better defense of the g-pawn was 17...Rg8. 

18.f6 

The position screams out for this move.

18...Nf5 19.fxg7+ Black resigned

A favorable outcome for White, despite the non-involvement of his Queenside pieces.
