Vintage Allan Troy Chess Book-Ed#9 Grand & Goring Gambit The Queen's Gambit 2/3

Description: There is a worldwide problem that is creating all sorts of difficulties. We have extended our shipping window to 20 days to give us time to solve these problems. Like the rest of the world we are hoping to get back to normal soon. If you are familiar with the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit you will remember that Mr. Shaibel defeats Beth Harmon with Scholar's Gambit. Later he plays 1. d4, she asks if this is new, and he says "it is the Queen's Gambit." There are more gambits than the Queen's Gambit, and one of the most effective is the Goring Gambit (1.P-K4 P-K4, 2. N-KB3 N-QB3, 3. P-Q4 PxP, 4. P-QB3 PxP, 5. NxP). White opens all diagonals for the bishops and the queen, gains a tempo in development, and holds the initiative for a long time. Black gets a pawn but must hang on for the ending. The hair-raising Grand Goring is very much like the Danish, with the addition of the two knight moves: (5.B-QB4 PxP, 6. BxNP.) It is wild, but it also introduces a bind you cannot get with pure Danish. These are very useful gambits. You can switch back and forth and frustrate your opponents. Here is another Yetman Brothers monograph publication for every amateur and neighborhood champion. The author is Steve Farmer, a former New Mexico state champion. Worth every penny for the amateur who wants something playable. If you are a fan of the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit, this item is for you. Descriptive notation, softcover. We combine shipping!
