Paperback, 208 pages – New in Chess, 2022

The Queen’s Gambit is the most talked-about chess opening since the hit Netflix series made it a household name. But what does it actually involve – and how do you beat it? This book fills that gap.

German Grandmaster and FIDE Senior Trainer Michael Prusikin presents a solid yet dynamic Black repertoire against the Queen’s Gambit. His focus is on understanding over memorization – explaining the key pawn structures and middlegame ideas so you can play confidently in any variation.

Coverage includes every major Queen’s Gambit system: the Catalan, Tartakower, Carlsbad, London, Colle, Veresov, and more. As a bonus, Prusikin also covers responses to the Bird, Réti, and Nimzo-Larsen – giving Black a complete answer to virtually every first move except 1.e4.

Test your understanding with 36 exercises in key positions from real games.

Ideal for club players looking for a practical, principled repertoire against 1.d4.
