Publisher's Synopsis
As a Gambit for Black: against 1.e4 we play a Petroff Defense and go for the Stafford Gambit (currently little known, dubious, yet deadly!) Stafford himself won a correspondence game as black in just 6 moves! As a Gambit for White: We play 1.e4 and then play for the aggressive Boden-Kieseritzky Gambit when black plays 1... e5. It is an opening from Paul Morphy's repertoire, and essentially a reverse Stafford. Morphy once played the Boden-Kieseritzky while blindfolded and playing in a simul... and won brilliantly! This book includes that game. It also includes tactics for both openings, over 55 games, and many diagrams. Learn the tactics, study the games, and take down your shocked opponents!
