There was also Harro Dahlgrün's four volumes Königsgambit Band 1-4. One of them, maybe the first, was mostly, or maybe completely, about the Polerio-Muzio. I used to own this set, but I didn't spend much time on the Muzio. Fascinating, but impractical for both players, since both colors have good options to avoid it.

My last King's Gambit Accepted as black was a fast time control Muzio-like thing. No doubt I was briefly winning -- theoretically. I exchanged queens, but my opponent paid no attention and continued va banque. The clock was my downfall and at a later stage white had all his pieces developed while all of mine were still on the back row, albeit not on their original squares! After that I took up the Nimzowitsch-Marshall Countergambit (1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 c6). It is far inferior to accepting, nevertheless I have scored 100% with it.

I knew Thomas Stock quite well at the time.
As far as I know he never published a Muzio book. Don’t know of any other Muzio book either.
Thomas Johansson’s book is from around 2004/2005 but on the Bishop’s gambit.

Taylor advocated 3. Bc4.

I remember buying a book about the Muzio Gambit, around 2004 (but I am not sure about the year). It was some sort of a “labour of love” by the author, who analyzed it for an entire life and then published his efforts. I remember that he also had a website on his beloved Muzio Gambit. Can you help me in finding again this book’s title and author?
