For three centuries the King's Gambit was the main line of attacking chess. Anderssen's Immortal Game — London, 1851, played casually alongside the tournament — opens 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 and gives up a bishop, both rooks and the queen. Then Fischer, after losing to Spassky's at Mar del Plata in 1960, published 'A Bust to the King's Gambit' in 1961. It has never been the same — and it still wins miniatures every day.
