  This book deals exclusively with the gambit play, openings where one side or another gives up a pawn or more for speedy development, open lines and attacking chances. Play generally proceeds on sharply since inevitably the player who has sacrificed material must maintain the initiative or else the extra material will soon count against him. Illustrative games are used to demonstrate each of the moves in turn.
