The “Great Eight” Gambits
The mathematically inclined will quickly realize that there are only twenty-seven possible Gambits. All of them have been used and documented in tournament play. Each has several names from a variety of localities. There is no such thing as a “new” Gambit.
The “Great Eight” Gambits are the eight most widely used. There is nothing about these eight that make them superior to any other Gambits, although as a group they can be very effective. Several high-level players built careers on just these eight Gambits. They are, sorted alphabetically by their most common names:
- Avalanche (RRR)
- Bureaucrat (PPP)
- Crescendo (PSR)
- Dénouement (RSP)
- Fistfull o’ Dollars (RPP)
- Paper Dolls (PSS)
- Scissor Sandwich (PSP)
- Toolbox (SSS)
