Bologna, Italy: S1 Editrice S.r.l., 1995. Assumed First Edition . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 6" X 8 1/2. 179 Pages Indexed. Since so many of Black's troubles in the Queen's Gambit can be traced to a cramped game, offhand it looks as though it would be good policy to get free play for the pieces, even at the cost of giving up the centre temporarily. This is the leading motif of the Queen's Gambit Accepted: a more comfortable game gets priority, equality in the centre will come later. Naturally, White is anxious to play "e4", as in all variations of the Queen's Gambit. By removing the pawn barrier Black makes the struggle to see whether White can force a favourable advance or not all the more acute. White must regain his pawn, but also prevent the liberating "eS", which would follow, e.g., on "3.e3". Consequently 3.lUf3 is most natural. Perhaps it should be mentioned that Black cannot afford to try to hold on to the pawn: if now 3 ... bS 4.a4 c6 S.e3… Read More
