The Queen's Gambit Accepted: Essentials (Black Repertoire)

By Theo van Stratum

A Black repertoire for the Queen's Gambit Accepted (1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4), the most direct way to meet 1.d4 2.c4. Includes the Classical main line (taking the pawn and striking back with ...c5), the critical 3...a6 system for holding onto the extra pawn with ...b5, Black's answer to the aggressive Central Variation (3.e4), and the early ...Bg4 pin on the f3-knight.
