Developments in the SMITH-MORRA GAMBIT 1980-89

The Smith-Morra Gambit is one of the most vigorous and unexplored systems against the Sicilian Defence. It is an ideal choice for enterprising players with attacking flair eager to side-step the opponent's preparation and take an early initiative. Morphy, Tal, Fischer and Capablanca number among the players who have used this dynamic opening with success.
