The Queen's Gambit for the Attacking Player - 2nd hand

This book is a state-of-the-art survey of all branches of the world’s most popular gambit from the viewpoint of the player who wants to attack with the white pieces.

In recent years many of the world’s top young players, such as Kramnik, Anand and Shirov have invested enormous amount of time and analysis into making lines of the Slav, Semi-Slav, and QGA into reliable, ambitious weapons for Black. This book concentrates on the lines which are the cutting edge of White’s counter-efforts, and provides a selection of aggressive repertoires against Black’s older defences, including the Orthodox, Tarrasch and Semi-Tarrasch. No player who has read this book need be in any doubt how to meet Black’s sharp approaches - be they modern, dynamic counterattacks or old, romantic gambits.
