Commentaar:

Are you bored of playing the same old openings time and time again? Fed up with constantly having to keep up with modern chess theory? Or perhaps you simply wish to play something new and exciting, but cannot decide between the numerous options available? Don't despair - help is on hand!

In Dangerous Weapons: The Queen's Gambit opening experts Richard Palliser, Glenn Flear and Chris Ward team up to investigate one of the most popular openings in chess history, but in a revolutionary way. They concentrate on little-explored and fun-to-play variations of the Queen's Gambit, selecting a wealth of 'dangerous' options for both colours. Whether playing White or Black, a study of this book will leave you confident and fully-armed, and your opponents running for cover!

Dangerous Weapons is an exciting series of opening books which supply the reader with an abundance of hard-hitting ideas to revitalize his or her opening repertoire. Many of the carefully chosen weapons are innovative, visually shocking, incredibly tricky, or have been unfairly discarded; they are guaranteed to throw even your most experienced opponent off balance.

  • The Queen's Gambit in a completely new light
  • Packed with original ideas and analyses
  • A large array of weapons to shock your opponents

Preface

A Dangerous Weapons project in the Queen's Gambit may at first appear a little surprising, but it is not just the ancient Queen's Gambit Declined which was in­vestigated by your authors. On the contrary, the Semi-Slav, the Slav, the Queen's Gambit Accepted and even the likes of the Albin and the Chigorin came under the microscope as we searched for dangerous new variations, as well as for wrongly-neglected lines to rehabilitate.

By meeting 1 d4 with 1...d5, Black initially sets out quite a solid store. It is usually up to White whether or not to allow Black the chance to complicate the game, as he does when he meets the QGA with 3 e4 or the Semi-Slav with 5 Bg5. Thus it should not come as a huge surprise to discover that the majority of the Dangerous Weapons in this book are for White. Furthermore, by and large Black's sharper op­tions have either amassed a sizeable chunk of theory, especially the huge Semi-Slav complex, or are simply unsound: for instance, I was unable, despite some effort, to resuscitate the Dutch-Peruvian Gambit. Nevertheless, unexplored and very interesting paths for Black were still found: not so surprisingly in the case of both the QGA and the Slav, but perhaps more so in the venerable Exchange Varia­tion of the QGD.

Throughout this project, I have been very impressed by the creativity and dili­gence of my co-authors. I hope that you enjoy studying their contributions as much as I have done. Glenn Flear was responsible for chapters 1, 9, 10, 13 and 14; Chris Ward wrote chapters 2, 5, 7 and 8; and I contributed chapters 3, 4, 6, 11 and 12.
