I missed Andrew Martin's Playchess lecture tonight, which was on, of all things, the King's Gambit. 😠
Anybody see what he had to say? Or hear I guess... :/

Originally posted by BedlamGood marketing there; a little vacillating makes $$. You come out with "Win with the King's Gambit". When the sales die down, you release, "How to totally bust the King's Gambit". If anyone points out the contradiction, you just tell them "Opening theory is constantly changing..."
He made a DVD on it saying that it was ok! grrrrr 🙂

King's Gambit again
Oops it's not Andrew Martin it's Dennis Monokroussos and it's about David Bronstein. But it's focused on the King's Gambit

Yes - you lose or win less points than a win or loss depending on ratings. It's in the FAQ I think. Yes indeed... here it is FAQ
If you have firefox and you get the greasemonkey addon (extension) you can see what the rating change will be for W/L/D for every game you play.
