Playing 1.d4 – The Queens Gambit is part of an ambitious two-volume repertoire for White with 1.d4. The core of the repertoire from the first edition, published in 2009, is retained, but a multitude of details have been updated and improved within the lines. This is both the same repertoire but at the same time so much more, as when a boy grows up and becomes a man – many features are unchanged, but his strength and knowledge are expanded immensely.
The repertoire is completed by Playing 1.d4 – The Indian Defences.
Lars Schandorff is a Danish Grandmaster who is renowned for his deep opening preparation.
ISBN 978-1-907982-15-6 - 320 pages - Published 13 July 2012
Reaction to the first edition:
Lars, I want to play your book – GM Boris Avrukh
Very well-written and an excellent choice for ambitious players – Carsten Hansen
Reviews
"I find this book to be amazing. The repertoire is ambitious, and, yes, there is plenty to remember and you will have to work hard to get through this volume. However, Schandorff has done most of the work for you by selecting the lines, handing you the key alternatives, analyzing everything, and providing you with countless new ideas in every single variation. Nothing worthwhile ever comes easy, and working your way through this book will be worthwhile! The result of your efforts will be to have an armory of weapons in all the lines of the Queen's Gambit, and you will become a stronger chess player. It may even hand you some easy wins along the way."
Carsten Hansen, ChessCafe (full review)
"I liked very much Schandorff's twin works, as they offer a pragmatic repertoire for a wide range of strengths. If you are tempted by 1.d4, but are lacking in ideas, then with this pair of books '...you just might find, you get what you need'."
GM Glenn Flear, New in Chess
"A very valuable repertoire for the serious tournament player."
Skakbladet
"I found when trying out his repertoire that it was of an objectively high quality, but it was at least equally important that it was one which I could play! The ideas are clear, the quantity isn't out of hand and the lines typically make sense."
Dennis Monokroussos, Chess Today
"While 'Playing the Queen's Gambit' was successful, 'Playing 1 d4 - The Queen's Gambit' is even better. I can absolutely recommend it."
Uwe Bekemann, Fernschachpost

GM Simen Agdestein said: I have recently been reading Lars Schandorffs Playing 1.d4 books, thinking that it cannot possibly get more instructive than this. Meanwhile, GM Boris Avrukhs verdict was simple: Lars, I want to play your book. Now Schandorff switches sides and offers a top-class Semi-Slav repertoire against 1.d4.

It is a regular favorite of elite players, who know that computer-aided preparation now threatens the sharpest lines of the Sicilian or Ruy Lopez (at the very least with a forced draw). The Caro-Kann is less susceptible to such forcing lines – Black sets out to equalize in the opening, and win the game late

Książka wydana w języku angielskim. Miękka okładka. The Queens Gambit is easily the most talked-about chess opening since the immensely popular Netflix TV series of the same name became a hit.

German Grandmaster Michael Prusikin presents a solid but dynamic opening repertoire for Black against the Queens Gambit. He

The Exhilarating Elephant Gambit offers a complete repertoire for Black, based on 3.exd5 Bd6 or 3.Nxe5 Bd6 4.d4 dxe4. In return for the sacrificed pawn, Black ensures himself of quick and active development with most of his pieces pointing menacingly towards the enemy kingside. Attacking and other

When the first edition appeared more than five years ago, FM Hannes Langrock's groundbreaking work breathed new life into a gambit that conventional wisdom viewed as no more than a nuisance for Black. A nuisance?! Au contraire! As noted by German GM Karsten Mueller, "The Morra Gambit is well-suited for players striving for tactical and uncompromising play, as White's better development often leads to a dangerous initiative. Furthermore, traditional Sicilian players may be taken by surprise and remove
