Kirtash
Hey there. I've been playing (or rather, TRYING to play) this opening for a while, but i haven't had good results with it. I like this opening, and i wish to continue playing it, and so i come to you all asking if you know any books that will help me understand this opening better. Please help me.

Do you happen to have the book by Kosten on the Latvian Gambit, "The Latvian Gambit lives!"?
Thanks everyone for you replies.
@Mauimifs: Thanks for the offer, but sadly i don't have any chess material on my computer.

Gallagher's book is considered excellent. Korchnoi's book has a big hole in it and not not considered very good. Estrin has a two volume set that is also quite good
hey, kirtash, it's ok. i have mcdonald's, korchnoi's, and gallagher's books on the king's gambit. if you like copies of them, email me, and i'll send them to you right away.

Are you talking about the Korchnoi/Zak book ? I have this book as well as Gallagher's and one by Christiansen as well. What is the big "hole" in the Korchnoi/Zak book ?
I believe Spassky still knows more about the kings gambit than any living player. Its unfortunate that hes too lazy to write a book on it.... I would buy it in a heart beat. I think anyone who likes KG would !
