Alterman BlackGambit Guide1 : 1. D4 -BenkoGambit
Compiled by takchess
--*--

This is the only Alterman Gambit Guide that i own. I am in the process of learning alternatives to the Kings Indian as Black. These games although mostly not in the book they speak to the spirit of the counterattacking line of The Benko Gambit, The Blumenfeld Gambit, The Vanagian Gambit, English Defense Gambit.
