King's Gambit
03 Sep '08 18:08Thanks everybody. Two last questions though: What are some notable KG games? And what GM's are best known for the use of their KG?
04 Sep '08 12:27Originally posted by Dragon FireSpassky yes, but not Korchnoi, who to the best of my knowledge has only ever played the KG once. (In fact, he rarely plays 1.e4.) He did, however, put his name to a book on the KG written by Zak over 20 years ago.
Spassky and Korchnoi are 2 notable players who have used the Kings Gambit regularly as white.
