Chess had a golden era when The King's Gambit was the favorite opening of every attacking player. In the glory days of Paul Morphy, it was considered almost cowardly to play anything else. Legends such as Spassky and Bronstein kept the flame burning in the 20th century, but its popularity faded as players became distrustful of White's ultra-aggressive approach. Nevertheless, there are honorable exceptions whose games prove that this ancient weapon can still draw blood - Short, Nakamura and Zvjaginsev are world-class players who have used the King's Gambit successfully. In this book, a grandmaster shows that the ultimate Romantic chess opening remains relevant and dangerous - even in the computer era.
