Gambits, where one side sacrifices material for an advance in development, are the most exciting and popular openings in chess! Every important gambit opening and variation ever played and currently in vogue is here-more than 2,000 opening strategies in all! Each gambit is covered in detail with a diagram showing the standard position representative of the gambit, the move orders taken to reach there, and an explanation in plain language of the thinking behind the moves. More than 100 complete games are included so that readers can see how the ideas behind the gambit are influential not only in the beginning of the game, but later on in its development. 768 pages, softcover.
