This DVD covers the King's Gambit Accepted with 3.Bc4. Regarding this move, Bronstein said, 'You want to play the King's Gambit? Well, after 3.Nf3, Black has drawn continuations. If you want to win, you should play 3.Bc4!' Of course, time hasn't stood still since then and this DVD shows recent developments and new ideas for both sides in this fascinating variation. I analyse numerous innovations and variations that should appeal to any attacking player looking for an interesting variation against 1...e5! The Berlin Defense often leads to boring equal positions and it might be time to look at the King's Gambit. The opening leads to unusual, content-rich positions where Black is under pressure from the second move on.
