Really nice review. I never played QG myself tho.

I"ve read it and think it is excellent. If I remember right it was a quality chess paperback and they make excellent books. All are written that way.

Yep, Quiality Chess truly makes the best books. So far i own Attacking Manual 1+2, Play the Semi-Slav, Playing the Queens Gambit, The Caro Kann and Beat the KID. Awesome books.

I own it.

Lars recommends a line against the chigorin which is marked as ? by fritz and is scoring rather dull results but other than that I like the book.


Sadly its fighting style (MOAR SPACE+pawnplay) is really not the spirit I like to play in.


What move is it?
