    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.'

    I have several of those Batsford books from when I was a new player. They were just books of lines, and almost useless to me, although at the time I was sure they must contain the secrets I needed.

    It wasn't until I discovered books with complete annotated games that I started to make progress.

    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.

    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!?
