The King's Gambit is given a completely new appraisal by Vladimir Zak, Leningrad's chief trainer, who played Boris Spassky, Victor Korchnoi and other leading USSR grandmasters. In the reassessments, many variations that once promised Black an easy game are shown to be fraught with difficulties; there are many new ideas based on modern strategic conceptions; at best Black survives with balanced chances - this book charts the new lines that lead the way. Philip Booth, the translator of Rook Endings and Open Games, ably renders the Russian text into English. A hardback book in good condition, with some shelf wear.
