INTRODUCTION
Strictly speaking, the Falkbeer Counter-Gambit is
characterised by the move order I e4 e5
2
f4 d5
3
ed5 e4, but it
has become usual for the name to be applied to all the
variations arising from I e4 e5
2
f4 d5, and we have followed the
custom, particularly as it enables us to discuss a number of
interesting and theoretically important sysyems.
The counter-gambit derives its name from Ernst Falkbeer,
who was born in Buenn in 1819 and died in Vienna in 1885.
Falkbeer published his analysis in the
Deutsche Schachzeitung
for 1850, and the following year tried it out successfully against
Adolf Anderssen (see game 71). Since then the counter-gambit
has been through all sorts of traumas, mainly as a result of
Keres' discoveries, but at the moment it has no shortage of
supporters.
