The king is dead. Long live Crush the King's Gambit!
Are you ready to take on the King's Gambit and consign it to history?NM Joseph Truelson brings you his personal repertoire to grab an objective advantage against the unsound gambit.
In this course, you will enter uncharted territory with many lines barely been covered before. And you know what that means? White won't be prepared for them.
Give White no escape!
As early as move five, NM Truelson takes you off track into variations where you can be supremely confident you've easily out-prepared even the most ardent King's Gambit aficionado.
In many positions, White will be left with just one move that keeps him/her in the game, while plenty of other natural ones will lose.
Against this repertoire, White needs to be careful just to reach a playable position.
A weapon White won't have prepared for
The lines presented here are easy to assimilate into your e4-e5 repertoire as there are less than 50 drivable variations.
AND you can start playing this repertoire without studying the whole course because there are introductory variations that make it possible to start playing these lines in a few hours, with annotated games and all the key ideas included.
NM Truelson has researched and cross-referenced all the main sources in the King's Gambit to find engine-checked lines that rarely appear or are often simply left out of repertoires.
Scared that really well-prepared players will somehow manage to achieve equality? John Shaw's The King's Gambit fails to even mention my recommendation as early as move 5.
The Chessable course The Systematic King's Gambit mentions my recommendation against its line, failing to give a drivable variation as early as move 6 (claiming that it isn't popular enough to cover) and admitting that Black has an advantage. For White, there is no escape - Black will obtain an advantage, and it isn't hard to learn how to get it. Black either keeps the pawn for insufficient compensation or gives it back to obtain the initiative.
