The Latvian Gambit
144 pages, paperback, Batsford Chess, 1995
Discontinued
Grandmaster Kosten shows in this thoroughly researched book that the Latvian is not only viable, but utterly devastating if White doesn't proceed with extreme circumspection.
The Latvian Gambit has always been regarded as a lively opening, well suited to those looking for a sharp battle as Black, and prepared to take a risk. Certainly, the gambit is devastating if White does not proceed with great care.
In this book, for the very first time, a top-class player sorts through the mass of games and analysis which have accumulated over the years and asks the question: is the Latvian really sound? His conclusions may surprise you!
Tony Kosten is one of England's leading professional chess players. A member of the England team on two occasions, he became a Grandmaster in 1990. His previous books for Batsford have been greeted with thunderous applause in the chess press:
"Winning with the Philidor"
'Deep, compelling analysis...the best book I have ever seen on the Philidor'Inside Chess"New Ideas in the Nimzo-Indian Defence"
'Provides superb coverage of all lines of the Nimzo-Indian...an excellent book'Chess Monthly
