Description of Declining the Queens Gambit
This book provides a repertoire for Black with the ever-popular Queen’s Gambit Declined.
Opening expert John Cox covers not one but two key options for Black. The Tartakower
Variation is a sophisticated defence used successfully by world champions such
as Kasparov, Karpov and Kramnik. The Lasker Variation is an easy-to-learn and reliable
option devised by one of the legends of the game. Cox also demonstrates how to play
against White’s other tries, including the Exchange Variation and Bf4 lines. He explains
in detail the typical plans and tactics adopted by both sides, whilst also tackling the tricky
subject of move-order possibilities.
