Rudolph Spielmann (1883-1942) was one of the greatest chessplayers of the Romantic School. His love of the open game (1.e4 e5) in general, and the King's Gambit in particular earned him the respect of his peers early in his career, and he became one of the leading players of his time.
Spielmann was a master of the art of attack, and in this book National Master Eric Schiller uses his most brilliant games to teach the aspiring chessplayer how to develop and carry out an attack in a variety of Open Games, including the Spanish Game (Ruy Lopez), Italian Game, Scotch Game, Four Knights, and, of course, the King's Gambit. These are the openings that every chessplayer should master before moving on to the complexities of the Sicilian Defense and other Semi-Open Games.
The reader will learn opening, middlegame, and even endgame theory from the study of these entertaining games. 100 complete games are included, all of which begin 1.e4 e5.
The book will be especially useful to beginners and players rated under 1500 on the USCF scale, but the timeless games will provide entertainment to any level of player.
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 an attack, but how to build an attack from the opening. I have chosen to concentrate on the Open games because it is here that the attacking motifs are most clearly illustrated, and the types of defensive mistakes most closely reflect those made by beginner and intermediate players.
I have believed for a long time that 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 recent PCA World Championship match between Garry 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, opportunites for Romantic play still appear.
