Jacek Ilczuk, Krzysztof Panczyk : Queen’s Gambit Declined: Vienna

Many games featuring elite players such as Garry Kasparov, Magnus Carlsen, Vladimir Kramnik, Viswanathan Anand and Lev Aronian have started out in this variation. In this QGD/Nimzo-Indian hybrid play can become extremely sharp very quickly and an in-depth knowledge of the theory is essential. Black will often grab material but will suffer from a lack of development and an exposed king. This variation will suit well-prepared players who have good tactical awareness and relish hand-to-hand combat.

• A complete theoretical survey of an important variation
• A fascinating analysis of the battle between material and the initiative
• Written by leading theoreticians
