Description: This chess book is in very good condition. It was printed by Batsford. This book provides rapid understanding of the King's Gambit through the use of model games and clear explanations. It is Ideal for the club player, written by a leading player and an expert on the opening, and includes a full explanation of both the latest developments and important thematic ideas.The King's Gambit is the most daring and dangerous opening. White throws caution to the wind, and Black must know what he is doing to avoid early defeat. The King's Gambit was all the rage in the early 19th century but has an enduring popularity throughout the chess world. Remarkably, it is once more the focus of top grandmaster attention, for example Nigel Short played it three times in a row against the world's best at the Madrid 1997 tournament.A classic opening which has come right back into vogue thanks to the efforts of (amongst others) top English players Nigel Short and Michael Adams.
