The Elusive King's Gambit






Just noting that Quality Chess' promised book on the King's Gambit is as elusive as ever. Now the publishing date is set to May (the discrepancy between the publishing schedule and the book's info page is normal).






Update 2012-03-27
Now the blog says May/June while the book's info page says May. In one month the publishing date has only been delayed with half a month - looks like progress.

Update 2012-05-21

And now it's July. Not quite two months have passed and the delay is another month and a half... No new indications of progress.

Are you aware of or have the new DVD on the London System "Pressing straight away - The London System 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4"?

Hi, (btw, I love your London book), I am very interesting in getting your impression of Henrik Danielsen's new '60 minutes' on the London. I bought it yesterday, and must say that Henrik is an excellent presenter, explaining the ideas with confidence. I have so far a very good feeling of the content. Still, an expert like you might better assess Henrik's proposed lines (e.g., the Nc3 lines versus an early Qb6). Thanks in advance /ChessFan

Now the info page says November.

The book is obviously coming but I am still not convinced it will be in 2012.

What do you think about the new the London System videos on ICC by John Watson?

I visited your blog for the first time in ages, and thought the date on this one was 2013... But according to their blog it's really, really close now.

Hi Remco,

My guess now is May 2013 and in a five year perspective that is really, really soon. When I see a print date (presumably agreed with a print shop) I will have more confidence in their promises.
