Alexey Bezgodov provides a complete chess opening repertoire for Black against 1.d4. After replying with 1 d5, the former Russian Chess Champion advises you to take up the Double Queen s Gambit and play 2 c5 against both 2. c4 and 2. Nf3. In The Double Queen s Gambit Black s attitude is as active and ambitious as that of White in the Queen s Gambit. This ambition may seem premature at first sight, but many strong grandmasters have already successfully played this system. After thoroughly investigating and analysing this opening, Bezgodov has gained a lot of experience in practical grandmaster play. The system not only turned out to be playable but also brought him success, and not just because of its surprise value. Bezgodov s conclusion is that there is no clear and compelling way for White to reach an advantage. The fresh ideas and the clear explanations in The Double Queen s Gambit may change your view on modern chess opening theory. Bezgodov provides dozens of exercises to test your understanding of his system."
