| | The Urusov Gambit - Introduction |
 | | Adopted by Keidanski, Schlechter, Tartakower, Caro, and Mieses, the opening claimed victims among the best defenders of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including Steinitz and Lasker. |
 | | With that the opening fell into disfavor at the highest levels of master competition, and today it is mostly seen in club play, where it racks up quick scores against inexperienced or unprepared opponents. |
 | | Especially if you like playing open games and enjoy the White side of the Two Knights Defense with d4 (which Black will transpose to over half the time), you are bound to feel very much at home in these sharp lines. |
