This new series of Batsford Chess Opening Guides provides rapid understanding of fashionable openings through the use of model games and clear explanations. Ideal for the club player, each Guide is written by a leading player and an expert on the opening concerned, 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.

Bestes Buch einer guten Serie
Die Reihe der "Opening Guides" von Chess Press, Brighton, wird von Batsford fortgeführt. Ein Rückgang der Qualität ist nicht festzustellen. Von den mir vorliegenden Titeln der Serie ist The King's Gambit (über 1. e4 e5 2. f4) der mit Abstand beste. Autor Neil McDonald verfaßte schon mit Winning with the Kalashnikov ein sehr ausgefeiltes Werk, hier gelang ihm erneut ein Meisterstück. Seine Bibliographie listet neun (!) Königsgambit-Bücher auf, was bei Batsford deutlich über dem Durchschnitt liegt, vor allem aber hat sich der Autor intensiv mit dem Stoff beschäftigt und steuert viele eigene Gedanken bei. Das 17seitige Kapitel zum Läufergambit hat mir besonders gut gefallen. Jeder Königsgambitspieler dürfte aus der Arbeit mit diesem Werk viel Nutzen ziehen.
