Andrew Martin: Meeting the Gambits Vol. 2 - Gambits after 1.d4
Squashing counterplay is a favourite pastime of strong chess players and in meeting the Gambits Vol 2 we see plenty of that.
Advice and suggestions are given against:
- The Benko Gambit - 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5
- The Budapest Gambit (including the Fajarowicz Gambit) - 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5
- The Albin Counter-Gambit - 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5
- The Von Hennig-Schara Gambit - 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 4.cxd5 cxd4
- The Queen's Gambit (a little-known system for Black) - 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6
When facing gambits the most important thing is not to panic, a feeling usually induced by lack of knowledge. Keep calm, learn the antidotes and face the aggression with renewed confidence. This DVD, ideal for players up to 2200 level, will help you to do just that.
