Grandmaster Forces Me To Play His Secret Opening...So I Refute It.

I played GM Aman Hambleton from @chessbrah whilst visiting Paris, and in this game he wanted to show me his FAVORITE opening... so I tried to refute it :)

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

This is an amazing match. Using the opening of your opponent and then beating him with it. That is really impressive.

[@wowzabowza123]

You do realize the Jerome is less of an opening than it is just giving odds.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

@@wowzabowza123 Actually, the name of it is the Jerome Gambit. I have never tried it. It is a very risky attack. 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. It is exactly what happened to Anna here, but she managed to defend it and turn it around to win. It is very difficult to do and very risky, which is why I am so impressed.

[@johntatum1951]

Yes, very impressive...goooo Anna!

[@victorfinberg8595]

@@Buc_Stops_Here no, it's always one piece for two pawns, and a loose king.

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

@@Buc_Stops_Here It's a horrible gambit that traps only people probably up to 1500. Nothing about her defending from it was special. If you recall he said you will like your position, because the gambit sucks. It's a gimmick and the only reason he played it.

[@lyingcat9022]

Funny how much easier it is when you’re not playing to see tactics. I was looking at that bishop sac when she unpinned it and attacked the knight. Then he attacked her Queen and Stockfish was like “Ello, what’s all this then?” ;) I think that’s what it was seeing too? Lots can go wrong when there’s that many pieces in contact with each other all over the board. A big combination can leave you up material and neutralize the enemy’s violent attack!
