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.
