Chess Books ... $19.95
Softcover: 6x9, 231 pages, figurine algebraic, 230+ diagrams. The Danish Gambit - 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3, is one of the most aggressive
chess openings ever devised. Dynamite was invented by a Swede, Alfred Nobel.
This amazing book, however, was not written by Nordic players. Instead,
Grandmaster Karsten Müller and FIDE Master Martin Voigt bring a touch of the
German method to the analysis of these explosive groups of classical open games
where White goes for out-and-out attack based on an early e4, d4 and Bc4, often
with c2-c3 to follow.
