This exciting gambit has always been a favourite with players of all levels who wish to obtain attacking chances against the Sicilian Defence. White gives up a pawn to activate all his pieces and obtain a whirlwind initiative which has in practice swept away even players of the highest standard.
This book, by a leading young English theoretician, covers in detail all lines arising from the acceptance of the gambit, and suggests a repertoire for White against Black's various methods of declining the pawn.
