Editorial Review: Product Description: "1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3, is one of the most aggressive chess openings ever devised. Dynamite was invented by a Swede, Alfred Nobel. The book you are reading now, however, was not written by Nordic players. Instead, Grandmaster Karsten Müller and FIDE Master Martin Voigt bring a touch of German method to the analysis of the explosive group of classical open games where White goes for out-and-out attack based on an early e4, d4 and Bc4, often with c2-c3 to follow. Müller and Voigt do not confine themselves to the Danish Gambit alone but they examine a whole family of related opening variations that share some common characteristics. Most importantly, White is ready to offer some material (a pawn or two, sometimes a piece or more). White goes for the jugular and if Black is not careful he will not even reach the middle game, let alone an endgame. ...A guiding principle for the authors of this book is that White will play attacking chess, fighting for the initiative at every move. If Black does not meet the challenge in an equally determined way, he will surely lose." From the Foreword by Tim Harding Average Rating:

My game went 1 e4 e5 2 d4 exd4 3 Nf3 Nc6 4 c3 (the spectators were already giggling at my choice of opening moves) 4...Nf6 5 Bg5 (I knew the book move was 5 e5, but I didn't know what to do after that. As this book shows, 5 e5 Nd5 6 Qb3 is a good idea for White. But my dubious plan was to get my opponent out of his book.) 5...dxc3 6 Nxc3 Be7 7 Bc4 O-O 8 Qc2 a6 9 O-O-O (we're really out of book now) 9...b5 10 ... Read More
