Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 81 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The BlackmarDiemer Gambit (or BDG) is a chess opening characterized by the moves: 1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3 where White intends to follow up with f2f3, usually on the fourth move. White obtains a tempo and a half-open f-file in return for a pawn, and as with most gambits, White aims to achieve rapid development and active posting of his pieces in order to rapidly build up an attack at the cost of the gambit pawn. It is one of the very few gambits available to White after 1.d4. Condition: Near fine.…

The King's Indian Attack (or KIA), also known as the Barcza System (after Gedeon Barcza), is a chess opening system for White. The opening is not a series of specific moves, but rather a system that can be played from many different move orders. Though the KIA is often reached via 1.e4 followed by d3, Nd2 (or Qe2), Ngf3, g3, Bg2, and 0-0, it can also arise from 1.g3, 1.Nf3, or even 1.d3. Condition: Light edge wear, lightly soiled, corners gently bumped else very good.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 103 pages with diagrams and inexes. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The von Hennig-Schara defies White's dominance in the center after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 with 3.c5, then cranks up Black's development to the third gear with the pawn sacrifice 4.cxd5 cxd4!? Openings expert GM Larry Kaufman, IM John Watson and other opening analysts proclaim it as "Black's best gambit against 1.d4".and it's easy to see why. For a meager pawn, your minor pieces land on aggressive outposts, and your rooks take over the central open files. Combine this impressive centralization with a wide open board, and a vicious attack against the enemy king and queen is all but guaranteed. Condition: Light edge wear else near fine.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. 97 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. Dilworth Variation: 9.Bc5 10.Nbd2 0-0 11.Bc2 Nxf2. After this move, the continuation 12.Rxf2 f6 13.exf6 Bxf2+ 14.Kxf2 Qxf6 has scored well for Black, with many traps for the ill-prepared White player. The main line leads to unbalanced endgames which are difficult to play for both sides, though with a strong drawing tendency. Artur Yusupov is one of the few grandmasters who has adopted the Dilworth repeatedly.[47][48][49] White has the alternative move of 13.Nf1, which continues 13.Bxf2+ 14.Kxf2 fxe5 15.Kg1. The variation can also be reached via 11.Bxf2, with the line 12.Rxf2 Nxf2 13.Kxf2 f6 14.exf6 Qxf6 reaching the same position as the main line, though White can instead play 14.Nf1 or 14.Kg1 to transpose to the 13.Nf1 line. Condition: Light stain to front wrapper, light edge wear else very good.…

The FrankensteinDracula Variation is a chess opening for Black, usually considered a variation of the Vienna Game, beginning with the moves: 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bc4 Nxe4 or it can be reached by transposition from the Bishop's Opening: 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. Nc3 Nxe4. The opening involves many complications; however, with accurate play the opening is viable for both sides. The variation was given its name by Tim Harding in his 1976 book on the Vienna Game, in which he said that the bloodthirstiness of the character of play was such that "a game between Dracula and the Frankenstein Monster would not seem out of place." Condition: Fine. …

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. 117 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. This books is designed to teach the aspiring chessplayer how to build an attack from the opening. It is based on the games of Rudolph Spielmann, one of the greatest attacking players of all time. All of the games belong to the category of the Open Game, characterized by the initial moves 1.e4 e5. One hundred games have been selected to illustrate not only how to carry out in attack, but how to build an attack from the opening. I have chosen to concentrate on the Open game because it is here that the attacking motifs are most clearly illustrated, and the types of defensive mistakes must closely reflect those made by beginner and intermediate players. Classical openings, and particular the Open games, are the best foundation for an aspiring chessplayer. In fact, almost all World Champions have spent a great deal of time exploring both sides of these openings, which were seen even in the World Championship match between Gary Kasparov and Viswanathan Anand. It is well-known that the most instructive games for novices are those which involve players from the Classical and Romantic periods of chess, roughly between 1890 and 1930. This is due to the general lack of defensive technique seen in those games. Because one side often lets an attack succeed, either through ignorance of the threat or failure to appreciate the positional factors of the game, we can see how an attack is built and carried out in its pure form. In more recent games, direct attack usually does not succeed because players are better schooled in the art of defense, On the other hand, opportunities for Romantic play still appear.
