The Queen's Gambit Declined is an opening of great historical
importance and Black's fundamental answer to 1 d4. From the very
first move Black obtains a firm foothold in the centre, something
that White finds extremely hard to undermine. Indeed, Black often
bases his entire strategy around this control. The soundness of the
Queen's Gambit Declined has never been in question, and its
supporters at the highest level include a long list of Grandmasters
headed by Kasparov, Kramnik, Karpov and Short, as well as many
World Champions from the past.
This book is a further addition to Everyman's best-selling
"Starting Out" series, which has been acclaimed for its original
approach to tackling chess openings. Neil McDonald goes back to the
basics of the Queen's Gambit Declined, introducing the key moves
and ideas, and taking care to explain the reasoning behind them -
something that is often neglected or taken for granted in other
texts. In this user-friendly guide, the reader is helped throughout
by an abundance of notes, tips and warnings highlighting the vital
characteristics of the Queen's Gambit Declined and of opening play
in general. "Starting Out: Queen's Gambit Declined "is a perfect
guide for improving players or for those new to this opening.
*Detailed coverage of a classic chess opening
