A Gambit Guide through the Open Game Vol.1 and 2

DVD 1: Do you master the main lines but often find yourself surprised by old, forgotten gambit lines? Are you tired of the main lines and prefer something easy to learn, even if it is a very dangerous gambit? This is your DVD! In this first volume of his gambit guide, Dutch grandmaster Erwin l'Ami takes you on a journey through time and demonstrates gambits from open openings (i.e. after 1.e4 e5). This DVD includes the famous Frankenstein-Dracula gambit, the Cochrane gambit, the Belgrade and, of course, the mother of all gambits: the Rey gambit. Many of these long-forgotten variants leave plenty of room for creativity and exploration, and this DVD is packed with new ideas to surprise your rivals with. In addition to the theoretical section and illustrative model games, the DVD contains a large number of exercises that will allow you to test the knowledge you have acquired. L'Ami, winner of the 2015 Reykjavik Open and former assistant to world champion Veselin Topalov, is the perfect man to guide you through the maze of dazzling complications.

DVD 2: William Davies Evans was a Welsh sea captain who contributed the Evans Gambit, which brought hundreds and thousands of brilliant victories to his name. In volume 2 of his gambit guide, Dutch grandmaster Erwin l'Ami returns to the days of romantic chess when pawns were routinely sacrificed in large numbers. In the first volume we saw many dangerous gambits that White can play after 1.e4 e5. In the second we see enterprising gambits such as the Marshall, the Scottish, the JÄnisch and the aforementioned Evans gambit. Many of these long-forgotten variants leave plenty of room for creativity and exploration, and this DVD is packed with new ideas to surprise your rivals with.
