Giuoco Piano, Jerome Gambit

The Jerome Gambit is an opening from the game of chess with the trains 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6, 3 Bc4 Bc5, 4 Lxf7 Kxf7 , 5 Sxe5 Sxe5. The ECO code C50. It is named after the chess player Alonzo Wheeler Jerome. The aim of this gambit is to expose through the sacrifice of a runner and a knight of the king to attack him more easily and can checkmate. This gambit is very risky, as White for his attack sacrifices two figures and thus obtained material disadvantage.

White can win by 6.d4 back a character, but Black can defend 7.Dxd4 Df6 by 6 ... Lxd4 and gets advantage. The main continuation is in DH5 6 . After 6 .. Kf8 follows about 7.Dxe5 De7 8.Df5 Ke8 9.Sc3 d6 10.Df3 DF7 11.De2 Sh6 12.0-0 c6. Another sequel is in 6th ... Ke6? 7.Df5 Kd6 8.d4 (or 8.f4 Df6 9.fxe5 dxe5 ) Lxd4 9.Sa3 c6 10.c3 Df6 11.cxd4 Dxf5 12.exf5 Sf7 13.Lf4 Ke7, both with advantage for Black.

Since Black gained a distinct advantage with correct game in general, opening today in top level chess is completely unusual.
