The Nakhmanson: A Super-Aggressive Gambit

The Nakhmanson: A Super-Aggressive Gambit

The Nakhmanson Gambit is a member of the Two Knights Opening. Unlike seen in standard lines, White offers a Knight on c3 and, if taken, sacrifices a Bishop on f7 with check. White's attack can be quick and brutal. This book covers both accepting and declining the gambit. Have any strong players lost to the gambit? Yes! Magnus Carlsen (World Champion) lost his Bullet game against GM Brandon Jacobsen when Jacobsen unleashed the Nakhmanson. The book includes that game plus many more. It also contains four tables of movement lines with associated notes, 3 x 3 inch diagrams for easier (on the eyes) analysis, an opening suggestion for when your opponent avoids the needed double-king pawn lines, and a section of 22 positions for testing your Nakhmanson tactics .
