DOWNLOAD EBOOK'This romantic opening is a real rarity at top-level chess. Probably the greatest expert on this line right now is England's Grandmaster Joe Gallagher.' - Nigel Short in The Daily Telegraph The King's Gambit has always been a great favourite of tactical players. However, since its heyday in the nineteenth century, it appeared only sporadically in Grandmaster chess. Recently, this has begun to change, and the King's Gambit has once again become a force to be reckoned with. A whole host of new ideas have appeared, many of them introduced into international competition by the author himself and explained in this book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere was a time when the Kings Gambit was the favorite chess opening of every attacking player. In the glory days of Paul Morphy it was considered almost cowardly to play anything else. Legends such as Spassky and Bronstein kept the flame burning in the 20th century, but its popularity faded, as many players are wary of sacrificing a pawn for long-term compensation. There are honorable exceptions whose games prove that this ancient weapon can still draw blood: Morozevich, Short, Zvjaginsev and ex-US Champion Yury Shulman are world-class players who attack with the Kings Gambit.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNetflix’s most watched limited series to date! The thrilling novel of one young woman’s journey through the worlds of chess and drug addiction. When eight-year-old Beth Harmon’s parents are killed in an automobile accident, she’s placed in an orphanage in Mount Sterling, Kentucky. Plain and shy, Beth learns to play chess from the janitor in the basement and discovers she is a prodigy. Though penniless, she is desperate to learn more—and steals a chess magazine and enough money to enter a tournament. Beth also steals some of her foster mother’s tranquilizers to which she is becoming addicted. At thirteen, Beth wins the chess tournament. By the age of sixteen she is competing in the US Open Championship and, like Fast Eddie in The Hustler, she hates to lose. By eighteen she is the US champion—and Russia awaits . . . Fast-paced and elegantly written, The Queen’s Gambit is a thriller masquerading as a chess novel—one that’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. “The Queen’s Gambit is sheer entertainment. It is a book I reread every few years—for the pure pleasure and skill of it.” —Michael Ondaatje, Man Booker Prize–winning author of The English Patient

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIs the King s Gambit the exclusive domain of reckless daredevils? No, it isn t. International Master Timothy Taylor proves that, contrary to popular belief, the most romantic of chess openings is perfectly playable and offers good chances to obtain an advantage. There is a disclaimer, though: after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4, you should avoid the standard move 3.Nf3 and do as Bobby Fischer did, play the Bishop s Gambit! But wasn t it that same Bobby Fischer who proudly claimed that he had busted the King s Gambit? Years of confusion could have been avoided if the title of Fischer s famous article had been one word longer: A bust to the King s KNIGHT Gambit . The Bishop s Gambit was never busted and was successfully played by Fischer himself. Timothy Taylor has thoroughly researched this fascinating chess opening and never recommends a line he doesn t play himself. He shows that declining the gambit and offering counter gambits don t work for Black and presents a sound and strong attacking repertoire for White based on 3.Bc4. There is no reason to be afraid of Black s Queen s check on move 3 and those who claim to have refuted the Bishop s Gambit are simply wrong. Timothy Taylor says the Bishop s Gambit is fundamentally sound and backs up his claim. So just sac your pawn and play!"
