Description: Arizona is under siege from the world-wide scourge. We are suffering delays in shipping, so our time limit is now 20 business days. We are hoping to get back to 10 days in the near future. You will never find another Smith-Morra Gambit collection like this one. The Smith-Morra is an anti-Sicilian line (1. P-K4 P-QB4 2. P-Q4 PxP, 3. P-QB3). But for all his virtues Ken Smith was a "mere" national master. Janos Flesch, on the other hand, was a grandmaster. He was also at one time the world record holder for blindfold simultaneous games. This a rarity in the "White Batsford" series; it is a hard-to-find book. This is in algebraic notation. We include Andrew Soltis' book on new Sicilian Gambits. Usually, a book with a title like this is just a rehash of old gambits. But this volume covers some obscure gambits in the Moscow Variation (1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bb5+) and the Rossolimo Variation (1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5). There is some coverage of other obscure lines. If you want the Smith-Morra or the Wing Gambit, you will have to look elsewhere. Worth every penny; Soltis it the rare chess writer who knows that not every reader is a master. Dozens of annotated games. If you are a die-hard king's pawn player and you hate the Sicilian, this collection is for you. Worth every penny and then some. We include bonus material! Algebraic notation, softcover. We combine shipping-to combine, put everything in a basket and then ask for an invoice. This comes from the private library of Allan Troy, late owner of Troy's Chess Shoppe, Torrance, California.
