    Hi,

    I want to say your chessfm videos are a great addition and I like how you have developed the material.

    I was wondering if you are going to cover the Boden-Kieseritzky Gambit?

    Thanks,
    Nick P

    Boris:
    Please enlighten me in one area: In the Urusov Gambit. After 1. e4 e5, 2. Bc4 Nf6, 3. d4 exd4, 4. Nf3
    Nxe4, 5. Qxd4 .. You never mention the possible reply of …f5. I wondered why and searched all of my data banks and could only find one game . I ran this variation out on my chess engine . It looks OK. What is the disadvantage of this variation?

    Will your early material on the Morra become available on a cd like your more recent gambits. I’ve had difficulty trying to reassemble your Morra data from the fragmented printed data on your ICC website. Your gambit series is itself more than worth the price of ICC membership.

    The Gambit Guides are great. How about a lesson on the Scotch/Two Knights line 1. e4 e5, 2. Nf3 Nc6, 3. d4 exd4, 4. Bc4 Nf6, 5. e5.

    Thanks,
