hi today we going to talk our second gambit it call The jerome gambit
First off before get into this gambit credit belong to little_guinea_pig who suggest this opening,WIKI WHO SUPPORT INFORMATION
I.Introduction
1.Quick note
The Jerome gambit similar to the evan gambit(check bobotheflyingsheep67's blog about this gambit),both is in the giuoco Piano opening but they are very different from each others like two kids having the same parent but they are different from each others
ok let get in the main point The jerome gambit is a very aggressive just like the halloween gambit we cover last time it also very different from it parent the Giuoco Piano, it start with these following move:
1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.Bc4 Bc5
4.Bxf7+!? Kxf7
5.Nxe5+ Nxe5
White have sac his knight and his bishop for a mating attack though.The jerome gambit is one of the most expensive gambit it also have a very low chance for mating attack sometime you the one who get mate not black(sidenote:The line is virtually never seen today (and never seen in high-level chess), but was known in the late 19th century.)
2.History
quote"The opening is named after Alonzo Wheeler Jerome (1834–1902) of Paxton, Illinois, who had a game with this opening against the problemist William Shinkman published in the Dubuque Chess Journal in 1876.[1]Blackburne wrote of it, "I used to call this the Kentucky opening. For a while after its introduction, it was greatly favoured by certain players, but they soon grew tired of it."[2] Blackburne's name for the opening may have arisen from confusion with 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5, which was also published in the Dubuque Chess Journal and dubbed the "Kentucky Opening" there.
In the third edition of the opening treatiseChess Openings, Ancient and Modern (1896), the authors wrote:
The Jerome Gambit is an American invention, and a very risky attack. It is described in the American Supplement to Cook's Synopsis as unsound but not to be trifled with. The first player sacrifices two pieces for two pawns, with the chances arising from the adversary's king being displaced, and drawn into the centre of the board.[3]
Similarly, du Mont wrote that it "is unsound, but has the saving grace of leading to a lively game and is therefore suitable for an occasional friendly game. The defender cannot afford to be careless."[4]
White may regain one of the two sacrificed pieces with 6.d4, but Black retains a decisive material advantage with 6...Bxd4 7.Qxd4 Qf6.[5] More commonly, White plays 6.Qh5+. In that event, Freeborough and Ranken analyzed two lines. One is 6...Kf8 7.Qxe5 Qe7 8.Qf5+ Ke8 9.Nc3 d6 10.Qf3 Qf7 11.Qe2 Nh6 12.0-0 c6, with large advantage to Black.[5] Freeborough and Ranken also analyze the bold 6.Qh5+ Ke6!? ("follow[ing] out Mr. Steinitz's theory that the King is a strong piece") 7.Qf5+ Kd6 8.d4 (or 8.f4 Qf6 9.fxe5+ Qxe5) Bxd4 9.Na3 c6 10.c3 Qf6 11.cxd4 Qxf5 12.exf5 Nf7 13.Bf4+ Ke7, again with a large advantage.[5] A bad line for Black after 6.Qh5+ is 6...Kf6?? 7.Qf5+ Ke7 8.Qxe5+ Kf7 9.Qxc5, regaining both pieces and winning two pawns.[6]" -according to wiki
II.How to play the gambit
After the sac of you knight and bishop you to take avantage of black's open king with the
move 6.Qh5+
1.The 6.Qh5+ attack
6.Qh5+ which fork the king and the knight now the knight cant block because you lose
the bishop white score well in that position because the king is weeken white
should now play 7.0-0
now the king dont want to go to e8 or else black lose his knight and if black think
he can give you his extra pieces back black will be so week that he will be mate
quite soon if black play 6.Kf6 instead he will be more exposed but if
black is greedy and want to keep his extra pieces with 6.Ke6
he will will be punish hard with the following move:
6.Qh5+ Ke6
7.Qf5+ Kd6
8.f4!
black must give away his knight or bad things will happen to him
8.......Qf6
9.fxe5+ Qxe5+
10.Qxe5+ Kxe5
and now black is out in open and white should get pawn protected
with 11.Nc3and get his king castle with 12.0-0
