The Queen's Gambit is one of the great classical openings. All the
world champions and elite players have played this opening - most
of them for both sides. In this book the highly experienced coach
international master Andrew Martin explains the basic ideas behind
all the different variations you can encounter after 1 d4 d5 2 c4.
This includes the classical defences (such as the Orthodox, the
Lasker and the Slav) as well as the weird and wonderful (such as
the Albin Counter-Gambit, the Hennig-Schara Gambit and Marshall's
Defence). First Steps is a new opening series and is ideal for
improving players who want simple and straightforward explanations.
First Steps emphasizes: *the basic principles*the basic
strategies*the key tricks and traps First Steps books are based
around carefully selected instructive games which demonstrate
exactly what both sides are trying to achieve. There is enough
theory to enable the improving player to get to grips with the
opening without feeling overwhelmed. If you want to take up a new
opening, First Steps is the ideal place to start.
