W. John Lutes' first edition of Danish Gambit was a worldwide success and quickly went out of print. It was a masterpiece of scholarly research on a fascinating opening. Author Lutes went back to work on a complete revision, including more than five hundred new lines and games. This book is a must for every devotee of the opening and also for players seeking detailed coverage of an agressive opening for White.
”The Danish Gambit has long been considered a chess museum piece, regarded as an archaic curiosity since the turn of the century. But is this view justified? Tournament players surely have noted recent revivals of other "fossils" in praxis such as the Bishop's Opening, Giuoco Piano, and the Evans Gambit with notable success. ...I attempt to go beyond some of the assessments of theory with the goal of finding new ideas in this line.
Accepting the Danish Gambit leads to exciting, demanding play for both sides. Black's best counter is 5...d5!, although he has no guarantee of a safe solid game after 6. Bxd5 Nf6 7. Nc3.
In conclusion/ the Danish Gambit can be an effective surprise weapon suitable for aggressive risk-takers .“
