Thanks,

I guess I'll check myself to see if it's available.

Danish Dynamite
Explosive Gambits: the Danish, Göring, Scotch and Urusov.

Danish Dynamite is the title, I believe.  Or something similar.

Müller and Voigt have omitted the chapter on Black's other options here, like Bb4 and c2) 5.Bxb2 Nc6 6.Nf3 Bb4+ 7.Nc3 Nf6 8.Qc2 d6 9.o-o-o o-o 10.e5 Ng4. For details I refer to the book. 


Ok, I give up. Angry  What the heck is the name of this famous book by Mueller and Voigt that it doesn't even need to be mentioned in this thread?  Is it actually available for us to refer to?  What's up with this? Angry

White is not obliged to sac two pawns - 4.Nxc3 is also according the rules.
I do agree, that White's prospects are suspicious after 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 4.Bc4?! cxb2 (strange enough Müller and Voigt have omitted the chapter on Black's other options here, like Bb4 and c2) 5.Bxb2 Nc6 6.Nf3 Bb4+ 7.Nc3 Nf6 8.Qc2 d6 9.o-o-o o-o 10.e5 Ng4. For details I refer to the book.

The Müller/Voigt book is a treasure trove and mostly very honest (brutally so, in fact) about White's chances.  I do think that the presentation leaves a little bit to be desired though.  It is not always clear where one variation ends and the next begins.


I am happy that two of my correspondence games are cited in this book.  I do, however, consider the Danish to be a lost cause.  The best defence is to take both pawns and play ...Nc6, ...Bb4 and so forth.  It is not easy to play, but it leads -- in my view -- to a win.  The key "Nielsen Gambit" position with White having castled queenside, his queen on c2, and so forth, is won for Black.

Oh dont forget, Müller/Voigts book also had the scotch, gorgin, and the gambit with bc4 and d4. so it is not really a whole book on the danish.

"I wonder if the Danish is worth a whole book by itself anymore."
Obviously Müller and Voight thought it worth the effort!They are pretty sceptical on the objective chances for White and I agree. Still the opening, especially if Black accepts, is a good ground for developing tactical skills.

MNb:   Grin

I wonder if the Danish is worth a whole book by itself anymore.  There seem to be only a few critical lines that are mentioned in NCO and ECO, and practical experience seems rather skimpy.  Perhaps the best book for a Danish player would be Vukovic's The Art of Attack in Chess, or dare I suggest... Either Spielmann's The Art of the Sacrifice in Chess or Shamkovich's The Modern Art of the Sacrifice in Chess.  Larry Christiansen's Storming the Barricades is also a good source.  Fortunately, there are many books of that nature that should help you.

I suppose you mean Müller/Voigts book. As they say, all lines after 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 are so concrete, that positional ideas remain rather vague. In fact there is only one: White sacs one or two pawns, developes as fast as he can and then strikes.
