The Queen's Gambit Accepted (1.d4, d5; 2.c4, dxc4;) has became popular again at the end of the twentieth century with a number of leading Grandmasters, including Kasparov, Shirov and Anand, taking up the Black side. This book explains the typical plans for both sides in the QGA including lines where White plays 3.e4, as well as the main lines, where White has an IQP with attacking chances to offset his weakened pawn structure. Coverage is via 51 complete, annotated games with pleanty of explanation and an abundance of hints, tips and warnings scattered throughout the text. The main sections are 3.e4, 3.Nf3 Main Lines and Less Popular Variations. Coverage is fairly objective so players of both White and Black could benefit from this opening monograph.
