Queen's Gambit Accepted - Softcover

The Queen's Gambit Accepted is one of the oldest and most dependable ways for Black to meet White's queen's pawn opening. It leads to dynamic positions with free piece play in which the more enterprising player is likely to prevail. Since Nigel Short used the QGA in his match with Anatoly Karpov in 1992, the opening has once again become highly fashionable and it currently features prominently in the repertoires of grandmasters Joel Lautier, Tony Miles and Matthew Sadler, among many others. This book provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the Queen's Gambit Accepted available. With an emphasis on currently fashionable lines that readers are likely to encounter in their own games, it provides everything you need to know to play the opening with White or Black. Iakov Neishtadt is an international master at correspondence chess and author of numerous books, including Winning Quickly with White and Winning Quickly with Black (also translated by Ken Neat).
