40 CHESS REVtEW, fEBRUARY, 1952 Up-to-date openmg analysis by FRED REINFELD by an outstanding authority

THE WING GAMBIT AGAINST THE SI CI LIAN THE Sicilian Defense (I P.K4, P-QB4) has the virtue of preventing Wh ite from playing the kind of opening he has in mind when he plays 1 P·K4. Yet there i ~ at least one variation in this opening in which White can get "revenge." This is the Wing Gambit (2 P-QN4), which at once tears the game out of the normal, positional channels, and leads to a sharp tactical struggle. The Wing Gambit, analyzed on page 437, columns 76 and 77 in Practical Chess Openings, yields a "clear positional advantage" for White. If this conclusion is valid, then the Sicilian is as good as discredited. (Strangely enough, PCO merely remarks that the line recommended "opens new perspectives to the first player.") Both conclusions, as well as the analysis on which they are based, warrant careful scrutiny. Before going on to the cl'Ucial analysis, it will be interesting to see some representative games with this variation. White's advantage, if any, resides in his superior development. This suggests that, if Black sees to it that his development does not lag, White cannot obtain any advantage. But then, what will White have for his gambit Pawn? White will have a los ing game!

At the sa me time, however, he has the pessimistic feeling that he may fail again. It depends, therefore, on the player's temperament as to whether the stim ul us to victory will outweigh the depressant which induces defeat. And the nature of th at defeat counts heavily, too. A stroke of had luck, or what the player consi ders bad luck, may weigh more heavily on him than an outright drubbing. A sim ple defeat allows him to rel y on the popular concept of the Law of Mathematical Probabilities: "Today him, tomorrow me!" (Or the Brooklyn Dodgers' cry: "Wait till next y~ar!"-Eo.) But, when Fate turns on a player, he feels like a school· boy whose homework has proved unsatisfactory despite the most careful 11 •• , , BPxP kind of preparation. His feeling is "What's the use?"
