Raymond Keene's Book of Gambits

Ray Keene gives various gambits a 5 (best) to one (worst) star rating.

I find the one star gambits with the RHP player playing it (and winning)

A good RHP game from the Philidor analysed in full.

Puzzle Time!

And three more games from the RHP 'Hall of Doom.'

Hi Greenpawn! I have a challenge for you: show a game where I did well. 🙂. Just kidding, though. I love reading your posts. I believe that I have improved quite a bit, based in part on your advice. Keep up the good work!

Hi jertamev,

You have played 2000+ games. I'm sure if I put together a team of
20 players and we examine every game then we will find a good move.

For a good game I'll need a team of 100 players.

I'll put out a recruiting plea next blog.

just try the unsound Latvian Gambit.... in some way is not unsound at all. No GM use this gambit,

Keene's one star gambits are fun, but I must admit I'm pretty intrigued by the five stars, or at least his description of them. "Absolutely reliable"? Doesn't that mean they're not really a gambit then!?
