A highly adventurous repertoire designed to meet 1 e4 with 1...e5
and take the initiative! The main problem Black faces in answering
1 e4 with 1...e5 is the plethora of opening systems available to
White: the Ruy Lopez, Giuoco Piano, Scotch, Ponziani, King's
Gambit, Vienna, Bishop's Opening and so on. Each is likely to be
White's pet line, which usually means conducting the chess battle
on the opponent's turf. One solution is to study the main lines of
all these openings and hope to remember what to do if they appear
on the board. Another, more enterprising approach is to turn the
tables and make White fight on your territory. Adopting the latter
course, CC-SIM Jonathan Tait shares their investigations into a
myriad of disregarded, "disreputable" responses, which can set
White thinking as early as move three. These lines are greatly
under-estimated by contemporary theory and include weird and
wonderful variations such as the Calabrese Counter-Gambit (1 e4 e5
2 Bc4 f5), the Wagenbach Defence to the King's Gambit (1 e4 e5 2 f4
exf4 3 Nf3 h5), the Romanishin Three Knights (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3
Nc3 Bc5), the Two Knights Ulvestad Variation (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3
Bc4 Nf6 4 Ng5 d5 5 exd5 b5) and ultra-sharp lines of the Jaenisch
Gambit (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 f5). The theory of the variations
in this book is generally poorly understood. This has made them
successful at all forms of play, including against online
computer-assisted assault.
