Jerome Gambit: Friendly Birthday Greeting

Readers are very familiar with Yury V. Bukayev, whose research works, commentaries, analyses, and games have graced the pages of this blog for years.

Most recently I have received the following email:

Dear Rick, good afternoon!

Tomorrow the chess world can celebrate 16 years of your nice blog!

I'm congratulating you very warmly with this birthday!!  

Here are news for you. Chessgames.com's today's "Opening of the Day" 

is Blackburne Shilling gambit. And it is interesting that 4. Bxf7+ is the 

most winning move for it in this database. 

Analogously to 4. Bxf7+ in Giuoco Piano there, you can see! 

Best wishes!

Yury
