Chess Strategy - Evolution of Chess Style

Kasparov talking about Carlsen and the Evolution of Chess style generally in Time 100 magazine for the most influential people :

"Chess history is best viewed through the game's evolution: the Romantic Era of the 19th century, the Hypermodernism of the early 20th, the post--World War II dominance of the Soviet School. The elite chess players of today are of no school. They hail from all over the world, as illustrated by current world champion Viswanathan Anand of India and young Norwegian Magnus Carlsen, who is due to challenge Anand for the championship this year. I had the opportunity to train Carlsen in 2009, and his intuitive style conserves the mystique of chess at a time when every CPU-enhanced fan thinks the game is easy. Carlsen is as charismatic and independent as he is talented. If he can rekindle the world's fascination with the royal game, we will soon be living in the Carlsen Era."

www.chessworld.net has a great Masters collection on the Improve menu..learn from the masters.

This series tracks the evolution of Chess style through history, visiting along the way key figures in that evolution, high profile World championship matches, and exploring possible catalysts such as rivalries, ego, country pride, government backing, etc.

The Kings Gambit collection

Notes from Wiki:

The King's Gambit is a chess opening that begins with the moves:
1. e4 e5
2. f4
White offers a pawn to divert the Black e-pawn so as to build a strong centre with d2--d4. Theory has shown that in order for Black to maintain the gambit pawn, he may well be forced to weaken his kingside.

The King's Gambit is one of the oldest documented openings, as it was examined by the 17th century Italian chess player Giulio Polerio.[1] It is also in an older book by Luis Ramirez de Lucena.[2]

The King's Gambit is infrequently seen at master level today, as Black can obtain a reasonable position by returning the extra pawn to consolidate. There are two main branches, depending on whether or not Black plays 2...exf4: the King's Gambit Accepted (KGA) and the King's Gambit Declined (KGD).

The King's Gambit was one of the most popular openings for over 300 years, and has been played by many of the strongest players, in many of the greatest brilliancies, including the Immortal Game; nonetheless, players have held widely divergent views on it. François-André Danican Philidor (1726--95), the greatest player and theorist of his day, wrote that the King's Gambit should end in a draw with best play by both sides, stating that "a gambit equally well attacked and defended is never a decisive [game], either on one side or the other."[3] Writing over 150 years later, Siegbert Tarrasch, one of the world's strongest players in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pronounced the opening "a decisive mistake" and wrote that "it is almost madness to play the King's Gambit."[4] Similarly, future World Champion Bobby Fischer wrote a famous article, "A Bust to the King's Gambit", in which he stated, "In my opinion the King's Gambit is busted. It loses by force" and offered his Fischer Defense (3...d6) as a refutation.[5][6]

None of these pronouncements, however, have proven to be actual refutations of the King's Gambit. Although the King's Gambit has been rare in modern Grandmaster play, a handful of grandmasters have continued to use it, including Joseph Gallagher, Hikaru Nakamura, Nigel Short, and Alexei Fedorov. It was also part of the arsenal of David Bronstein, who almost singlehandedly brought the opening back to respectability in modern play. The King's Gambit is also frequently seen in club play.
