Davies, Gambiteer 1

Are you fearless in your approach to chess openings Do you like to attack your opponents from the very beginning Are you happy to take calculated risks Do you loathe trivial positional chess Do you feel the need to sacrifice pawns early in the game Are you a Gambiteer If the answer to these questions is 'yes!'then this is the book for you!

In his two-volume Gambiteer series, opening expert Nigel Davies produces a complete opening repertoire which is certainly not for the faint-hearted: uncompromising and wild attacking ideas for both colours. This first volume deals with a gambit-style approach for White; the second volume will concentrate on an ambitious black repertoire. All of the opening lines Davies advocates in this book lead to positions of open warfare, where sharp, tactical play completely dominates dreary positional subtleties. Are you ready for the battle Then cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!
