From the rear cover
In the unusual Queen's Gambit, grandmaster Chris Ward covers three offbeat but nevertheless important defenses to this ancient opening. The Chigorin Defense (1 d4 d5 2 c4 Nc6) creates dynamic imbalance in the position. White often ends up with a big center but Black's active pieces can create havoc. The Albin Counter Gambit (1 d4 d5 2 c4 e5) is a tricky tactical line that can be deadly against an unprepared White player. The final variation (1 d4 d5 2 c4 Bf5) is an interesting way to try to solve immediately the age old problem of how to develop the queen's bishop in the Queen's Gambit Declined. (6 1/4 x 9 1/4, 160 pages, diagrams)
