This opening 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3 dxc3 4.Nxc3 is a great weapon to have playing against the Sicilian Defence for those who don't want to study the overwhelming complexities of the Sicilian main lines.  This opening invests a pawn for an important lead in development, which can build up effective attacks.

This electronic book shows all the crucial tricks and traps, with great, easy-to-understand explanations.

This electronic book is free. Enjoy! :-)

I found this gambit to be a great club level and intermediate level stratagy that can be used with moderate success. The secret to this gambit is not pure memorization of the gambit's moves because smarter players will be able to spot your seven move free queen by the time you get to move 4, two if they have seen it before. But I am not a great player, I strive to be one but I found this to be great against people who always used sicillian. (I hope I spelled that right)
