The Latvian Gambit: A Grandmaster View
155 pages, paperback, Cadogan, 1995
Discontinued
For over 500 years players of the Latvian Gambit have been winning games with this brazen counter attack. The Latvian produces a myriad of impossibly complex and rich tactical positions. After 1.e4 e5, the move 2.Nf3 is White's most common response, but now Black immediately forces the game into his own prepared territory with 2...f5. The Latvian specialist also exploits the opening's "shock value," and White is faced with consternation and confusion if he is not thoroughly prepared.
The Latvian Gambit - A Grandmaster View is the first in-depth GM analysis of this opening since Paul Keres examined it fifty years ago. Grandmaster Lein's extensive analysis has yielded dozens of theoretical improvements and reversals of previous evaluations.
Whether you are a correspondence or over-the-board tournament player, this book is an indispensible guide to the slash and burn world of the Latvian Gambit. Here the reader finds not only a complete Latvian reference manual, but also an invaluable source book of tactical chess extremism.
