Thank you very much for that post, and for those book titles... one of those will be mine soon! Glad you've joined, and please...feel free to persuade any friends of yours to join:D.

     My knowledge of the Albin Counter Gambit comes from two sources.  Counter Gambits, by Tim Harding and Unorthodox Chess Openings by Eric Shiller.  There are only a few pages on the Albin in each of the two books, but it is enough to successfully play the gambit.  Counter Gambits gives two illustrative games.  Tim Harding deals with the mainline and Eric Shiller is slightly more up to date, although the Harding book ends with an internet correspondence game played in 2000 in the footnotes.

     Harding captured the spirit of the gambit when he wrote, " (It) is far from easy to refute.  Even when Black seems down and out, he seems to be able to generate unexpected chances."
