Smith Morra GAmbit

Submitted by AlexCn on Thu, 07/10/2008 at 9:11am.

Hi, When someone plays e4 as white as usually play the Sicilian, C5. iN a few of my recent games I have been offered the Smith Morra Gambit D4 C3. I did not like the results when I took the pawns.

HOW would you reply to the Smith Morra Gambit. What do you think of e6 which can turn into the French.

A good book for me was play winning chess series by GM yasser Seirawan. its easy to read and very helpful for the beginner to intermediate players...

P.S. I got my first books from the library so it didnt cost me money.

I think you should play e6 then a6 and wait for what your opponent does.
