I am looking at the remarkable move 7...Rg8 that was played in the game between Tari and Abdusattorov in Norway Chess. A week later, this outrageous experiment was repeated in a game in the Chinese Team Championship, with similarly insane complications.

Watch out, this could be appearing on your board soon!

Jun Zhao and Xiangyu Xu explored the position shortly after, with Jun quickly going for a break in the centre.

And here’s another two-mover.

Glorious sacrifices, unexpected tactics and checkmating attacks. The King's Gambit is one of the oldest and most romantic openings in the game of chess. These DVDs contain all you need to know to play the King's Gambit.
