It certainly served him against 2500-2600 players, which is probably no
inhibition to anyone reading in this newsgroup.


A crucial correction: Boris Spassky was
*not* limited in his success with the King's
Gambit to 2500-2600 players; in fact, his
most famous wins include one against
Bobby Fischer; in sum, GM Spassky
seems to have had no particular limit
whatever here.

I am sorry, but any singular instance does not comprise any 'whatever'
statement.

Spassky's trainers told him it wouldn't work at the top level. And it
doesn't, otherwise we would see a KG at 2700 level, and we do not.

But this is to escape help-not's own point, which was to challenge the d6
pawn and d4 being the only way. Not that I personally mind a bad black King
Bishop, and etc zzzzzzzzzzzzz
