DESCRIPTION:
A Succinct Summary Emphasizing Ideas This is a relatively short book with a page count of 128 (including title page, contents, etc., and advertising at the back!) but it is filled with useful information that emphasizes ideas more than an endless list of variations. It is probably the best overall QGD survey book in my sizeable (550 volume) chess library.The book presents 25 complete games. This is a great approach for the class player (compared to a variations tree) because you see the m.

In addition to the traditional main lines with Bg5, White has at his disposal the Exchange Variation, and the Bf4 system, both of which can be handled in highly aggressive style if he wishes. Chess Explained books are not theoretical works in the traditional sense, but more a series of lessons from a chess expert with extensive over-the-board experience with an opening. While an immensely solid and classical choice for Black, it has remained highly topical for more than a century. It is as if you were sitting at the board with a chess coach answering your questions about the plans for both sides, the ideas behind particular moves, and what specific knowledge you need to have.The Queen's Gambit Declined is one of the most important and popular of chess openings.
