The Kingston Defence is characterized by the opening moves: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 f5 It can also be reached after the transposition of moves 1.d4 f5 2.e4 e6—a form of Staunton Gambit Declined.) The first record of the defence being played is Schiffers-Chigorin, 1880. The first record of a win by Black is the 1892 victory of Elson over Emanuel Lasker. The line fell into disuse until 1989, when the publication of a monograph by Gavin Wilson suggested a repertoire of responses for Black to the principal third moves available to White, namely 3.e4, 3.e5, 3.Nc3, 3.Nd2 and 3.Bd3.

  • The Kingston Defence is characterized by the opening moves: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 f5 It can also be reached after the transposition of moves 1.d4 f5 2.e4 e6—a form of Staunton Gambit Declined.) The first record of the defence being played is Schiffers-Chigorin, 1880. The first record of a win by Black is the 1892 victory of Elson over Emanuel Lasker. The line fell into disuse until 1989, when the publication of a monograph by Gavin Wilson suggested a repertoire of responses for Black to the principal third moves available to White, namely 3.e4, 3.e5, 3.Nc3, 3.Nd2 and 3.Bd3. In 1998, Clyde Nakamura, working independently, devised the Franco-Hiva Gambit variation of the Kingston Defence—1.e4 e6 2.d4 f5 3.ef Nf6?! 4.fe Bd6?!—in which Black sacrifices two pawns in exchange for a lead in development. This is an intriguing bypass to the problem set by the Exchange Variation of the Kingston Defence—1.e4 e6 2.d4 f5 3.ef ef—which undoubtedly poses the most serious threat to the viability of Black's defence.
