Sicilian Defence - Wing Gambits
71 pages, paperback, Chess Enterprises, 1. edition 1985
Discontinued
Kapitaniak presents a viable surprise weapon against the ever popular Sicilian Defense. These gambits are certain to get your opponent out of his "book". The great Paul Keres essayed Wing Gambits in his early days. The book includes forty annotated games fully illustrating the continuations in practical play.
The b4 - Sicilian Gambit was first mentioned in an Italian manuscript of 1623. We can also find notes on it in papers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The line became more popular in the 1920s when it was often played by such gambit players as Spielmann and Marshall. Later it was a strong weapon in the hands of young Keres and Rossetto. In our times Mariotti usually plays the b4 - gambit.
The b4 - Sicilian Gambit can be a good opening for anyone who does not want to study a typical Sicilian variation. Another advantage of this gambit is that Black playing the Sicilian Defense cannot avoid the gambit.
In this book I analyze the current state of the theory and practice of this opening. I hope that my work will serve to popularise this opening and help in developing the theory of the variation.
