The Petroff is currently one of the major weapons of the top masters. The Cochrane Gambit is perhaps not well known by its name, but is a very playable early assault on the Black King's position, which leads to dynamic positions with possibilities for both sides. Author W. John Lutes has become known worldwide for his exhaustive research in chess. In this volume he actually includes two books, a history of the entire Petroff Defense and a detailed analysis of the Cochrane Gambit. The historical survey spans 165 pages. The move than 1300 footnotes in this section underline the depth of the research involved. This includes the pioneer study by Jaenisch and Petroff translated from the 1842 French, and the Jaenisch 1871 German, which has never before appeared in English.
The Cochrane Gambit is 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nf6 3 Nxe5 d6 4 Nxf7. Bronstein brought the line into modern practice in 1973, and the variation has received detailed analysis since, particularly by Latvian and Russian masters. The author has included analysis from historical sources right up to and including the year of publication to make this the most complete analysis anywhere of this interesting line. The 138 columns of analysis include many complete games by most of the practitioners of the Gambit.
