Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 81 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The BlackmarDiemer Gambit (or BDG) is a chess opening characterized by the moves: 1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3 where White intends to follow up with f2f3, usually on the fourth move. White obtains a tempo and a half-open f-file in return for a pawn, and as with most gambits, White aims to achieve rapid development and active posting of his pieces in order to rapidly build up an attack at the cost of the gambit pawn. It is one of the very few gambits available to White after 1.d4. Condition: Near fine.…

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. 125 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The Schliemann Defense is one of the most difficult and dangerous defenses in chess that Black has available. It starts with 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 f5 !!!! This is not considered a Gambit because it would be useless for White to take the pawn with 4. exf5. Passive Defense is likely to give White a bad game. So, White must counter with 4. Nc3. Condition: Near fine. …

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. 102 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5) bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The King's Indian Attack (or KIA), also known as the Barcza System (after Gedeon Barcza), is a chess opening system for White. The opening is not a series of specific moves, but rather a system that can be played from many different move orders. Though the KIA is often reached via 1.e4 followed by d3, Nd2 (or Qe2), Ngf3, g3, Bg2, and 0-0, it can also arise from 1.g3, 1.Nf3, or even 1.d3.

Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 100 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The Anglo-Benoni system of the English Opening enjoys a unique distinction among the contemporary openings. Its Two Knights' variation, 1 c4 c5 2 Nf3 Nf6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4, A32 in the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings classification, had been shunned by the opening theory until 1970's. Although popular and important enough to find its way into the repertoire of the majority of today's masters, its thematic concepts remain controversial due to its strategic disparity with the more classic lines of the English Opening. And yet, it is the very dynamic positions and strategic possibilities that make the Condition: Near fine. …

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. 39 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. First edition. Here is a new surprise weapon in the venerable Spanish Game (Ruy Lopez). This is the most popular double King Pawn opening and has been analyzed for hundreds of years. It would seem to be extremely difficult to introduce a new idea on only the fourth move of this defense, but the authors demonstrate the practical value of this innovation through analysis and the presentation of examples of the variation from tournament, match, and correspondence play. Most lines of play resulting from the thrust 4. d5 in the Cordel Defense lead to early exciting tactical skirmishes with ample opportunity for the unwary or unprepared opponent to go astray into quick defeat. Nine complete annotated games are supplemented by 21 additional games incorporated into the analytical part of the book. Condition: Edge wear else very good. Game Diagrams (ilustrador).…

Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 103 pages with diagrams and inexes. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The von Hennig-Schara defies White's dominance in the center after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 with 3.c5, then cranks up Black's development to the third gear with the pawn sacrifice 4.cxd5 cxd4!? Openings expert GM Larry Kaufman, IM John Watson and other opening analysts proclaim it as "Black's best gambit against 1.d4".and it's easy to see why. For a meager pawn, your minor pieces land on aggressive outposts, and your rooks take over the central open files. Combine this impressive centralization with a wide open board, and a vicious attack against the enemy king and queen is all but guaranteed. Condition: Light edge wear else near fine.…
