Spice up your life with the sharpest openings around!

Are you looking for more spice in your life? If you want to play fun, attacking positions with the White pieces, GM Simon Williams has just the recipe for you! Simon provides an exciting gambit against each of Black's popular responses, with many of the opening names being almost as fun and entertaining as playing the actual gambit openings.

Here is what you will learn:

  • Can the Caro-Kann with the Hillbilly Attack!
  • Learn the sizzling Delayed Wing Gambit against the Sicilian!
  • Fan the flames against the French with another Wing Gambit!
  • Dunk on 1...e5 with the Danish Gambit!
  • Perk up the Pirc with the Monkey’s Bum!
  • Skin the Scandanvian!


"This is a wonderfully explained and clever idea that puts the onus on Black early on to keep finding moves that don't get him into trouble, and even if he does, you still get a decent game. Like a mad scientist, Simon keeps coming up with quirky and outrageous ideas that don't seem possible, but then he proves his sanity. Marvelous stuff!" - NM and Chess.com member gbidari


"Keep them coming, Simon! I have had great success with the wing gambit against the Sicilian and now feel confident trying this against the French too!" - Chess.com member rahulmurdeshwar
