Viktor Korchnoi, one of the greatest grandmasters in history, and renowned trainer Vladimir Zak present a comprehensive study of this legendary opening, in which White sacrifices a pawn on the second move to seize the initiative and wage an aggressive war for the centre — a gambit that has decided the fates of kings and champions alike for centuries.\n\nRooted in the rich tradition of Soviet chess scholarship, the work combines rigorous theoretical analysis with deeply practical insight, illustrating the razor-sharp lines and hidden subtleties that have made the King's Gambit both feared and beloved. Korchnoi's competitive genius and Zak's pedagogical mastery combine to produce a text that instructs players of all levels, from ambitious club competitors to seasoned tournament players. Whether you are drawn to its romantic swashbuckling spirit or its concrete theoretical demands, this volume will leave you wondering — do you dare to accept the gambit?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203231391963,"sku":"2026100009626-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e537c61d-6166-4dea-9559-ad4e1baeea7f.png?v=1788146328","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009626-secondhand-kings-gambit","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
