Site purpose

A website dedicated mainly to chess gambits, especially (but not exclusively) the old 19th century gambits which emphasised sacrificing one or more pawns for rapid development and the chance to launch quick attacks against the opponent's king.  Over time I intend to develop this into a pretty comprehensive resource for those who are interested in gambits.

My current plan is to update the coverage of the Open Games in 2020, and then move on to the Semi-Open Games and possibly d4 lines in 2021, with the aim of completing this wave of updates by the end of 2022.

I also have a non-chess section which is devoted to some of my other interests.
