A Gambit Guide through the Open Game Vol.2

William Davies Evans was a Welsh captain and the namesake of the Evans Gambit, an opening with which White won thousands of brilliant games. In part 2 of his "Gambit Guide", Dutch grandmaster Erwin l'Ami revives the romantic era of chess, when masters played the Evans Gambit and sacrificed pawns and pieces without hesitation to checkmate the opponent's king! Part 1 of this series presents dangerous gambits that White can play after 1.e4 e5. Part 2 shows sharp variations such as the Marshall Gambit, the Scotch Gambit, the Janisch Gambit and the Evans Gambit. Many of these long-forgotten variations offer room for creativity and new discoveries, and so this DVD is full of new ideas with which you can surprise your opponents. In addition to the theoretical part and example games, the DVD contains a series of exercises with which you can test your new knowledge. Erwin L'Ami, winner of the 2015 Reykjavik Open and former second of former World Champion Veselin Topalov, is perfectly suited to guide you through the many baffling and entertaining complications!
