Chapter 12: Gambits (White & Black)
This is a fun chapter where I analyzed a handful of gambits with both White and Black.
Use these with caution! Playing Gambits with White can lead to powerful development and strong attacks, but with Black can feel more like a dangerous, “all or nothing” approach.
