Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 51 pages with diagrams Octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. First edition. 2.Nc3 is White's second most common move responding to 1.e4 c5. Black's options are similar to those for 2.Nf3, the most common being .Nc6, along with .e6 and .d6, and less commonly .a6 and .g6. 2.e5 transposes into a variant of the Vienna Game. In all cases, White can then play 3.Nf3, as if White had played 2.Nf3 then 3.Nc3 (e.g. 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 (ECO code B30)). For the most part, other moves are the Closed Sicilian. Possible moves are 3.g3 and 3.f4 in general, also 3.Nge2, and less commonly 3.d3 and 3.Bc4. Many lines transpose to the Open Sicilian, the Moscow Variation, or the Rossolimo Variation, but there are many that do not. Also of some interest is 3.Bb5 to .Nc6. A typical line is 2.Nc6 3.g3 (ECO code B24). Also, 2.Nc6 3.f4 is the Closed Sicilian, Grand Prix Attack (part of B23). Condition: Edge wear with bumped corners, some soiling else about very good.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. 81 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 3/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. First edition. The CaroKann Defence is a chess opening characterised by the moves: 1. e4 c6 The CaroKann is a common defence against the King's Pawn Opening. It is classified as a Semi-Open Game, like the Sicilian Defence and French Defence, although it is thought to be more solid and less dynamic than either of those openings. It often leads to good endgames for Black, who has the better pawn structure. It allows Black to circumvent enormous bodies of theory in 1.e4 openings such as the Ruy Lopez and the Sicilian Defence. Unlike its sister opening, the French Defence, the CaroKann does not hinder the development of Black's light-squared bishop. However, it comes at the cost of a tempo because Black has to play 1.c6 before pushing the pawn to c5, whereas Black can push c7c5 in one move in the French Defence. White can combat the CaroKann in several different ways, often gaining a space advantage; additionally, Black has less mobility and can lag in development. Condition: Edge wear, soiled, rust stains at staples, soiled, corners bumped else better than good.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 68 pages with diagrams. Octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. First edition. The Accelerated Dragon (or Accelerated Fianchetto) is a chess opening variation of the Sicilian Defence that begins with the moves: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 g6 The Accelerated Dragon features an early .g6 by Black. An important difference between this line and the Dragon is that Black avoids playing .d7 d6 so that .d7 d5 can be played later in one move, if possible. Black also avoids the Yugoslav Attack, but since White has not yet played Nc3, 5.c4 (the Maróczy Bind) is possible. Condition: Previous owner's name to front wrapper verso, light edge wear with gently bumped corners else very good.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 77 pages with diagrams, bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. Revised edition first published in 1973. The French Defence is a chess opening characterised by the moves: 1. e4 e6 This is most commonly followed by 2.d4 d5, with Black intending .c5 at a later stage, attacking White's pawn centre and gaining space on the queenside. The French has a reputation for solidity and resilience, although some lines such as the Winawer Variation can lead to sharp complications. Black's position is often somewhat cramped in the early game. In particular, the pawn on e6 can impede the development of the bishop on c8. Condition: Wrapper edges age toned, corners bumped, rubbed and creased else very good.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 67 pages with diagrams. Octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. First edition. In chess, the SmithMorra Gambit (or simply Morra Gambit) is an opening gambit against the Sicilian Defence distinguished by the moves: 1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. c3 White sacrifices a pawn to develop quickly and create attacking chances. In exchange for the gambit pawn, White has a piece developed after 4.Nxc3 and a pawn in the center, while Black has an extra pawn and a central pawn majority. The plan for White is straightforward and consists of placing his bishop on c4 to attack the f7-square, and controlling both the c- and d-files with rooks, taking advantage of the fact that Black can hardly find a suitable place to post his queen. Condition: light edge wear with bumped corners, lightly soiled else very good.
