Summary:

Forging New Paths in an Ancient OpeningThe Queen's Gambit Accepted is one of the oldest known openings in chess. It was first mentioned in chess literature in the late 15th century. Over 500 years later, American Grandmaster Max Dlugy demonstrates in this groundbreaking work that the QGA is still a fighting, uncompromising opening that allows Black to play for a win from the very first move.But his comprehensive coverage is something players who face the QGA with White will also want to study. Dlugy not only carefully maps out Black's best strategy, but also gives ample consideration to how White should play. The positions analyzed are a blend of the tactical elements and the key positional considerations such as space, time and pawn structure to be assessed when choosing your lines.This book will teach you not just the QGA, but chessstrategy in general. It will teach you how to play solidyet lively positions and allow you to take somethingaway from Maxim Dlugy's classical style and lucidexplanations.
