A triple serving of Monokroussos chess videos this week
There's the ChessBase show tonight, of course, but I've also got two newly released videos on ChessVideos.tv. The first is the 17th-place winner in the USCL Game of the Year countdown (video here), featuring the interesting attacking game Bonin-Molner.
The second is something completely different, a fun look at some weird, fascinating backwaters in the Italian Game (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4). You won't learn much of mainstream theoretical value, but I hope you'll be entertained, enthused, and feeling wonder about the fascinating possibilities present in even the simplest and best-known positions. That video is here.

I know you mentioned several times that it was mostly presented for inspiration, and I'm sure you've seen it, but I just felt compelled to reference . From that, I always thought the line was indeed very fascinating.
And finally, when you broached the Jerome Gambit, I actually had to laugh. Thanks again for the entertainment.
