The Exhilarating Elephant Gambit, The Exhilarating Elephant offers a complete repertoire for Black after 1.e4 e5 2. f3 d5!?, based on 3.exd5 d6 or 3.xe5 d6 4.d4 dxe4. Perhaps that boldest opening in all of chess theory, the Elephant sees Black sacrifice a pawn to obtain quick and active development, with most of his pieces pointing menacingly towards the enemy kingside. Attacking and other tactical resources abound, with a future … e4-e3 advance often mauling White's position like an Elephant's tusk. With original analysis of all variations and improvements against all published "refutations", this book contains everything you need to shock, surprise and stampede your opponents.
