King's Gambit: Tactical Puzzles from Miniatures

Every position here comes from a game of the King's Gambit, the old romantic opening where White offers a pawn on the second move and the board catches fire almost at once. Bill Harvey has gathered nearly 400 puzzles, all drawn from the first 20 moves, and each one turns on a tactical idea that belongs almost entirely to this opening. A diagram marks the critical moment, and your task is simply to find the winning move.

The solutions sit at the back with a second copy of the diagram, alongside the rest of the game and the variations worth knowing, so each puzzle doubles as a short lesson in how these miniatures are won and lost. A sharp, practical workout for any player who opens with the King's Gambit, faces it, or just enjoys a quick, violent combination.
