Secrets of Opening Surprises Could you use a little magic in your chess?

Jul-23-03    F3rdHrsman: Does anyone have a copy of the American Chess Quarterly with Fischer's "busting" the King's Gambit? I loaned mine out year's ago and never got it back... if so, please e-mail me. Thanks in advance! May-30-04    ruylopez900: <F3rdHrsman> Fischer never busted the Gambit, that was just his ego talking. At best he found a testing line, but the King's Gambit isn't dead! May-30-04    Swindler: ChessCafe.com have it, http://www.chesscafe.com/text/bust.... Jan-08-06    DeepBlade: Arg, not KP-Kt4 kind of notation! Just need nice and clean readable notation like 1. e4 e5 2. f4 Jan-08-06    hintza: Well, Fischer had a preference for descriptive notation. To be honest I don't know why people get so annoyed by it, it's not exactly hard to grasp. Sep-05-06    jamesmaskell: I prefer algebraic notation due to its being easy to read. Descriptive notation can be hard to get. I sometimes have trouble and it definitely slows down my studying. Dec-30-06    JohnNash: Shut up you all and just play!!! Aug-10-08    just a kid: <johnNash>Not nice!
