The Alterman Gambit Guide: Black Gambits 2 continues to build a gambit based opening repertoire for Black. Volume one considered replies to 1.d4 and 1.c4 and now volume two offers attacking options for Black after 1.e4 or 1.f4. Playing such aggressive gambit lines offers the improving club and tournament player the chance to play dynamic attacking chess while studying the most entertaining gambits.

This volume deals with various openings after 1.e4,e5; and 1.f4,e5; and lines covered include: Marshall Attack, Hector Gambit, Traxler Variation, Frankenstein-Dracula Variation, Falkbeer Counter-Gambit and From's Gambit. The repertoire is explained with illustrative games, text guidance and analysis.
