Just ordered my copy and looking forward to transposing to the King's Gambit (especially the Fascinating one--) after 1 f4 e5.

What lines--accepted or declined--seem to give White the most difficulty these days?

TFKG offers a transposition to the main line Modern after, 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Bc4 d5 4.Bxd5! Nf6 5.Nf3 Nxd5 6.exd5 Qxd5 7.Nc3!.  This position also happens to be recommended for Black in Kaufman's "The Chess Advantage in Black and White" on page 352.  Black has various possible queen moves but Kaufman recommends 7...Qe6+.  Johannson writes, "7...Qe6?!+ is hardly worth taking seriously...", but a much stronger eighth move, after 8.Kf2, is given by Kaufman.  So after, 7...Qe6!?+ 8.Kf2 Qb6+ 9.d4 Be6 10.Re1 Be7 11.Bxf4, 11...Nc6 is given as an improvement on 11...c6 which ended in a draw.  Several more moves are given, and if I'm reading the last line correctly then I believe Kaufman is stating that Black has an advantage.  I think 10.Qe2!? is a stronger move than 10.Re1 after which I think both sides must play carefully.  White seems to be marginally better in Fritz analysis (which actually rates it as =).  Anyway, I was curious to see what others thought.

Received my copy on just yesterday (2-2-05).  A wonderfully thorough book.  I think the $36.00 price is fully justified for as much original analysis the book contains (and as Thomas has mentioned, someone who doesn't play the KG but plays 1...e5 is unlikely to fork out the dough just to make sure his defense to the KG holds).  I do have one analytical question concerning a variation analyzed in another book, but I think I'll wait till some more people get their orders in.  (perhaps Alumbrado and Dragonslayer have their copies by now?)

Yes, Na5 or Bb4 would be some kind of Bishop's Opening, though I think most KGeers wouldn't mind that too much.

And yes, the tricky Transposers chapter is 99% about black trying to trick white into a King's Knight Gambit, and sometimes white should allow this - after 2...Nf6 3.Nf3 I take a long look at the Shallopp defence 3...exf4 4.e5 Nh5 - which you hopefully will see for yourself some day soon...

Yes, but 1.e4 Nc6 2.Nc3 e5 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d3 and 5.f4 seems like an OK Classical KGD. But I suppose alumbrado is right - there must be some way for black to avoid a KG!

Did you choose the absolutely slowest shipment alternative? ???  Even my bunch of books arrived today!

After 1.e4 Nc6, why not play 2.Nc3 here too? Btw, when Miles played the Sigeman tournament, i think the game Hector-Miles went 1.e4 Nc6 2.Nc3 - during the dinner after the tournament I asked Miles if he'd've played 2...d5 or 2...e5 if Johnny had tried 2.f4 - which gave him a good laugh...

I just wanted to remark, that RJ Fischer only busted the King's Knight Gambit. After publishing his famous article he realised that White has an improvement on move 3.
When a certain Kasparov signed in for a swiss tournament somewhere in The Netherlands, the organizers paniced, as they were not prepared to give him proper accomodation. Were they relieved, when they learned his first name - Sergey.
