Rodi - The modernized Queen's Gambit declined ( a Dynamic Repertoire for Black)

OUT OF STOCK

The history of the Queen’s Gambit is connected with the very beginnings of modern chess, the opening being cited in the earliest published books on the science of the game, such as the Göttingen manuscript (1490) and the books of Ruy Lopez (1561) and Salvio (1604). The so-called Queen’s Gambit Declined – or Refused – is, together with the Slav, the main defense in the universe of queenside openings, and shares with the aforementioned defense a well-earned reputation for being a reliable and very solid scheme.

The main aim of the present work is to show that Black can indeed obtain positions where all three results are possible. The Queen’s Gambit Declined, about a century after its golden age, is still a reliable and lively defense, where despite all the theory developed during its long existence it still holds secrets for analysts and offers new positions to enjoy a lively game, both strategically and tactically. 620 pages HARDCOVER

Yap - Queen's Gambit Accepted

OUT OF STOCK

The Queen’s Gambit Accepted (1 d4 d5 2 c4 dxc4) has a long history and has always been popular at all levels of play. However, in the past few years it has undergone an explosion of interest, thanks to many new discoveries of possibilities for very dynamic play from Black. One of these is the line 1 d4 d5 2 c4 dxc4 3 e4 b5!?. This was previously thought to be a very poor line for Black but numerous recent games and investigations have completely changed this assessment. This is now almost the main line of the Queen’s Gambit Accepted and there is currently very little theoretical material on it.
Nicolas Yap analyses this line in forensic detail and also investigates other popular, counterattacking lines such as 3 e3 e5!?. The book is rounded off with suggestions to meet other White systems that involve 1 d4 but not 2 c4 (such as the London, Colle etc.) This makes the book a complete repertoire to face 1 d4.
- A complete repertoire for Black to counter 1 d4.
- The question and answer approach provides an excellent study method.  448 pages

Henris: The Complete Albin Counter-Gambit

Authored by Belgian FIDE Master Luc Henris, an expert on the Albin, this book covers the Albin Counter-Gambit on about 600 (!) pages. It provides you with up-to-date analysis and innovative ideas to fight the Queen´s Gambit. While it has long been underestimated by master and club players alike, it is especially Morozevich (ELO 2760 as of May 2013) who revived the Albin in recent years. If it´s good for him, it´s good for us too: an entertaining, surprising, and sound counter-weapon for Black.

SADLER - Queen's gambit declined

Qu'est-ce qu'un bête livre d'ouvertures, bêtement constitué de parties complètes commentées (112) peut bien avoir de suffisamment remarquable pour avoir été distingué par le prix du 'Book of the year' de la fédération britannique (entre ces deux monstres que sont <I>Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy</I> de Watson et <I>My Best Games</I> de Korchnoi) ? Simplement, la lumineuse mise en évidence des idées sous-tendant l'ouverture, la vivacité du texte, avec son jeu de questions-réponses évitant les excès du style professoral, et naturellement le choix des parties, récentes et variées. Celui qui aura assimilé ce bouquin saura certainement jouer le Gambit-dame refusé - et il aura en plus pris au passage quelques bonnes leçons de jeu positionnel.
