Power Play 27: The King's Gambit

Glorious sacrifices, unexpected tactics and checkmating attacks. The King’s Gambit is one of the oldest and most romantic openings in the game of chess. White sacrifices a pawn to build a strong centre and to open lines for an immediate attack against the enemy king. No more boring Berlins - take the fight to your opponent from the off. This DVD contains all you need to know to tackle your opponent.

If you are playing a World Championship match, Daniel King wouldn’t recommend playing the King’s Gambit. But if that doesn’t apply to you, then get stuck in. You have nothing to lose but your bishop’s pawn.

King's Gambit

The King’s Gambit was the fashionable opening of the 19th century. On move two, such great combinatory players as Paul Morphy (1837–1884) and Adolf Anderssen (1818–1879) were willing to sacrifice the f-pawn, so that after the opening of the play which follows 2... exf4 they would be able to obtain an advantage in development and then mount an assault with their pieces. Unforgettable masterpieces such as Anderssen’s “Immortal Game” were created with the King’s Gambit. But also more recent players such as Boris Spassky and David Bronstein (1924–2006) have won games with White.
