Italian Game: Jerome Gambit
Overview
Italian Game: Jerome Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO C50 in the Open Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
The line arises from 7 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. Bxf7+.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Italian Game: Giuoco Piano, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
