Description
Playing 1.d4 d5 - A Classical Repertoire by Nikolaos Ntirlis is a comprehensive repertoire for Black after 1.d4 d5 with the Queen's Gambit Declined. This opening has been a staple of chess strategy for over a century, employed by many World Champions and top players. Ntirlis has carefully selected the best ideas from games played by legendary players such as Rubinstein, Capablanca, and Alekhine, updating them with modern analytical tools. The book covers not only the classical QGD but also significant alternatives from move 2 onwards, including the Catalan, London System, Torre, and more. In addition to the main repertoire, Ntirlis provides two bonus chapters covering 1.c4 and 1.Nf3, offering a starter repertoire for players of the Queen's Gambit Declined.
