Playing 1.d4 d5 – A Classical Repertoire

Termék részletes leírása

In addition to the classical QGD, Ntirlis offers a complete repertoire against the Catalan, London System, Torre and all other significant alternatives from move 2 onwards. Every chapter begins with a discussion of typical plans, pawn structures and other relevant themes. This book also includes two bonus chapters covering 1.c4 and 1.Nf3, providing a starter repertoire for QGD players against both moves.

“It’s simply remarkable that there is so much useful information in only a modest-sized book. The author has a knack of finding the ideas that really matter without overloading the reader with superfluous references.

I have to admit that when I was allocated this book as one of those to review I imagined something rather tedious, but I was wrong! It’s an impressive effort yet again. There is so much new stuff, involving practical choices that don’t overload the memory, and yet the plans and thematic middlegames and endgames are also explained. So put away your prejudices, get hold of this book, and you’ll realize that playing the Queen’s Gambit can be great fun!”
