The exciting Elephant Gambit offers a full repertoire for Black, based on 3.exd5 d6 or 3.♘xe5 d6 4.d4 dxe4. In exchange for the sacrificed pawn, Black ensures a quick and active development with most of his pieces pointing threateningly towards the enemy king's flank. Attack and other tactical resources abound, with a future e4-e3 breakthrough often crippling White's position like an elephant's tusk. With an original analysis of all the variations and improvements against all the published "refutations", this book contains everything you need to surprise, stamp out your opponents.
